EPs of 2025


Presenting my favorite EPs of 2025 featuring: Blue Lake, Sofia Kourtesis, Say Sue Me, The Pennys, Speed, and Nilüfer Yanya.

Hitting in short bursts, the EP is nearly a lost art. Sometimes a preview before a full-length or sometimes scraps from an album that didn't make the cut, and other times just genuine new ideas that felt solid enough to be released on their own. Everything listed below is a great, quick way to get to know the artist without a major commitment and in a lot of cases, you won't need more to convince you to become a fan. In the case of the number one choice, I'd rank that amongst any of the best albums of the year as well. Whether you're looking for more experimental jazz, hardcore, electronic, shoegaze, or folk, there'll be something here for you to check out.
