The Music Of Hussalonia

Free EPs & LPs What's the difference between an EP and an LP? Generally, EPs have four songs, while LPs have more; though most Hussalonia songs are so short that even a full-length LP will clock in under 30 minutes.

Free Singles Reminiscent of the days when one would buy 45rpm 7" records, these releases feature two songs, neither to be available on a Hussalonia full-length. The only difference between this and the good old days, is that this is free. And intangible. And you can't accidentally crack the record while jumping on your bed, even though your mom explicitly asked you not to. So actually, it's better than the good old days.
