Why does Agalloch release so many EPs and not full-lengths?

[batmura]

Rather than issuing an EP every year, why not wait two years and issue a full-length?

Or am I missing the point here?

Agalloch isn't their jobs iirc. It's more of a part time band hence the small tours/less full lengths. It's still not bad given it's part time, every few years, although the White EP was their only EP I really enjoyed tbh.

LOL at your user name. I have to LOL every time I read it.

 

[Detric]

arent they working on a new record? or is that a dvd or smth? cant remember

 

[FUBAR]

They do it because they know it annoys you.

Don told me personally.

LAWL.

From what I remember, it's because on the EP's they experiment more and stray from the "true" Agalloch sound, whereas on they do evolve their sound, and not stray so much. It's pretty much instead of releasing albums under a different name, I think.

If the quality of their last full length is any indication, they should stick to the EPs!

Not sure man, for memory John Haughm is a carpenter. But don't quote me on that I just remember reading that he was somewhere or another.

Why's that a problem? I wish my favorite bands would release 1 EP per year instead of a full-length every 3-4 or so.

i loved ashes, not their best, but i loved it.

 

[beast from the east]

Ashes kicks major ass, as does everything else they create...

 

[Kenneth R.]

how can people not like ashes?

 

[hibernal_dream]

I prefer dust, personally

 

[opeth_353]

The Mantle ftw.

You're crazy! That is the highlight imo. Well not so much "The Grain", but the others two are awesome.

I prefer The Mantle, but AAtG is still great.
