The EP has become the format of choice for many bands opting to leave the Long Player format for good. Even Roger Joesph Manning Jr. (Lickerish Quartet, Jellyfish) has made it known for a while that his LP days are over and done when it comes to new music. My list of EPs is extensive this year, and to qualify your EP had to be anywhere from three to nine songs. Only two songs are considered a single (A/B side) and ten or more is an LP by my definition. Like the LPs, my cup runneth over with choices this year.
