Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow

Anna Calvi - One Breath

Nick Mulvey - First Mind

Go Go Penguin - v2.0

[Jonnyboy]

You just made all those names up right?

The fact that Anna Calvi and Bombay Bicycle Club get nominated over Gruff Rhys and The Wytches says all anyone needs to know about this award.

 

Royal Blood will win, despite their album having been rushed out to the detriment of its quality by a sales hungry record label.

 

Personally I'd give it to Twigs.

Kate Tempest for me. Incredibly talented lady.

Kate Tempest for me. Incredibly talented lady.

 

Saw her play about 5 or so years ago at a festival with her old band called Sound Of Rum. We were wandering past a small bandstand while they were on and couldn't help but stop and watch the rest of the gig. Not quite sure why they were roundly ignored by the media, but glad she is getting her dues now.

I don't know a huge deal about her. Went with a friend to one of her plays at the roundhouse this year and was really impressed. I like this album too.

 

There's things on the list that are more me and I'd listen to more frequently but feel she is most deserving of this. As I said before, she's a seriously talented lady.

Royal blood are fecking great! That is all, but they did not win!
