Best Short Records of 2020
The notion of a "full length record" can likely be traced to the era of a large vinyl disc, sized for 22 minutes per side. Nowadays, digital tracks can be released at any length, and some artists prefer to deliver more concise packages more frequently. While I still like the experience of unpacking a record of 30 minutes or more, this blog is all about keeping up with the times.
Accordingly, I present my favorite short recordings, where, by short, I mean about 10 to 20 minutes, with spunk packed densely.
