No Singles is a compilation album by Canadian rock duo Japandroids.
No Singles is a compilation album consisting of Japandroids' first two EPs: Lullaby Death Jams (2008) and All Lies (2007). Released by Polyvinyl on May 11, 2010, the compilation represents all of the material Japandroids recorded prior to the release of their debut album, Post-Nothing (2009). [1]
Both EPs were originally self-released by the band, and had previously been out of print. Both were remastered by John Golden for this release. A booklet included with No Singles details Japandroids' early history, with rare photos, show fliers, etc. [2] The band has stated that the re-release of their earliest material in 2010 was strictly designed to appease their fans desire for more music, as they would not be able to record a second album until 2011 due to an extensive touring schedule.

Burzum was a Norwegian music project founded by Varg Vikernes in 1991. Although Burzum never played live performances, it became a part of the early Norwegian black metal scene and is considered one of the most influential acts in black metal’s history. He has also released four dark ambient and neofolk albums. The word "burzum" means "darkness" in the black speech, a fictional language crafted by Lord of the Rings writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Burzum's lyrics and imagery are often inspired by fantasy and Norse mythology, and do not feature the political views Vikernes is known for.
An extended play, often referred to as an EP, or mini-album is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. Contemporary EPs generally contain a minimum of three tracks and maximum of six tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well.

During the middle of their career they shifted gears, moving away from this sound and producing two albums with a heavy pop rock influence. Their next two albums moved back towards their mid-1990s style, bringing back heavy ska punk and hardcore elements.
