My Tiny Robots and Randolph’s Leap EPs Reviewed
I have mentioned often enough how much I like EPs, not least for their lack of what I suppose Americans might call a Seventh Inning Stretch – that weary feeling you get about two thirds to three quarters of the way through an album, where your attention starts to wane and you wander off to […]
