this (or last) year's shortlist
not sure if this is the 2015 or 2016 shortlist. Its hardly 2016 since none of them were released this year (no shit).
I love the broad range of genres represented yet again. Clearly a ploy by the judges to stop people giving out because theres no way anyone ever has heard all of those 10 albums.
Jape album is great. Can't get my head around the Girl Band on. I hope Soak wins.
his year is:
Girl Band for Holding Hands with Jamie (Rough Trade);
HamsandwicH for Stories from the Surface (Route 109A Records);
Gavin James for Bitter Pill (Warner Music Ireland);
Jape for This Chemical Sea (Faction Records);
Le Galaxie for Le Club (Universal Music Ireland);
Colm Mac Con Iomaire for And Now The Weather (Plateau);
Róisín Murphy for Hairless Toys (PIAS);
Soak for Before We Forgot How To Dream (Rough Trade);
Villagers for Darling Arithmetic (Domino);
Young Wonder for Birth (Feel Good Lost).
