Hmm, that title sounds vaguely sexual. Anyway, the list:
Bat for Lashes – Two Suns
Florence & The Machine – Lungs
Friendly Fires – Friendly Fires
Kasabian – West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
La Roux – La Roux
The Horrors – Primary Colours
Glasvegas – Glasvegas
Led Bib- Sensible Shoes
Lisa Hannigan- Sea Sew
Speech Debelle- Speech Therapy
Sweet Billy Pilgrim – Twice Born Men
The Invisible – The Invisible
Glasvegas? Seriously?? Ha! Well, since the music world seems to collectively pee their pants at the mention of Bat For Lashes, I’m guess she’s got more than a good chance of taking the prize home. Though Florence did win Critic’s Choice at the Brit Awards back in February and her album is pretty damn great, that must count for something right? The winner will be announced on September 8th. Winners in recent years have included Franz Ferdinand (!!!!), Arctic Mokeys (bleh), and Klaxons (meh).
