And the nominations are...
It's that time of the year again folks, the Hyundai Mercury Prize nominations shortlist have been released.
As always, it's a mixed list with the obvious candidates alongside artists you probably don't know all too well. It's a great way of praising those artists that have so far musically dominated the year (Ed Sheeran, I'm looking at you...) and exposing the perhaps lesser known artists who have worked equally as hard to get where they are.
The prize itself recognises the best album from the UK and Ireland over the last year.
The shortlist was announced this morning (July 27th) at an event in London. Check out the full list below:
Alt-J: ‘Relaxer’
Blossoms: ‘Blossoms’
Dinosaur: ‘Together, As One’
Ed Sheeran: ‘Divide’
Glass Animals: ‘How To Be A Human Being’
J Hus: ‘Common Sense’
Kate Tempest: ‘Let Them Eat Chaos’
Loyle Carner: ‘Yesterday’s Gone’
Sampha: ‘Process’
Stormzy: ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’
The Big Moon: ‘Love In The Fourth Dimension’
The xx: ‘I See You’
The Hyundai Mercury Prize Awards Show will take place at Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith on September 14th.
