Here’s finally the end-of-year lists for 2017. Let’s start with the singles and EPs. It’s getting increasingly hard to keep track of 45s released by bands as many now opt for simply releasing a digital single – or four.
- Parsnip – Health EP (Anti Fade)
- Molly Nilsson – Single (Dark Skies/Night School)
- gSp – s/t EP (Thrilling Living)
- Owen & Ekman – New Orleans to Helsinki 7” (Goodbye Boozy)
- The Creation Factory – Let Me Go 7” (Market Square)
- Mick Trouble – s/t EP (Emotional Response)
- Sewer Side – Wire 7”
- UV-TV – Go Away EP (Emotional Response)
- Miss Destiny – Randy 7” (Shipping Steel)
- Green Seagull – Scarlet 7” (Mega Dodo)
- Cut Worms – A Curious Man EP (Jagjaguwar)
- Modern Cosmology – Summer Long EP (Elefant)
- Surfbort – Bort to Death EP (Hozac)
- Neo Neos – The Hammer of Civilization EP (It’s Trash)
- Amyl & the Sniffers – Big Attraction EP (self-released)
As usual, the Record Turnover rules includes a limit of one release per band, so while artists like Drahla and Green Seagull have had several singles released since January, I have only picked one. So how does the rest of the list look?
- Spinning Coin – Raining On Hope Street 7” (Geographic)
- Halo Maud – Du pouvoir EP (Halo la nuit)

- Exploded View – Summer Came Early EP (Sacred Bones)
- Skegss – Holiday Food EP (Ratbag)
- Pill – Agressive Advertising EP (Dull Tools)
