So the annual music orgy that is the Barclaycard Mercury Prize announced it’s shortlist today, with a mostly expected selection.
My favourite has to be Laura Mvula by a mile, although Disclosure and Rudimental are favourites from this year as well. But with this award, who knows…
- Arctic Monkeys ‘AM’
- David Bowie ‘The Next Day’
- Disclosure ‘Settle’
- Foals ‘Holy Fire’
- Jake Bugg ‘Jake Bugg’
- James Blake ‘Overgrown’
- Jon Hopkins ‘Immunity’
- Laura Marling ‘Once I Was An Eagle’
- Laura Mvula ‘Sing To The Moon’
- Rudimental ‘Home’
- Savages ‘Silence Yourself’
- Villagers ‘Awayland’
The overall winner of the 2013 Prize will be announced at the Barclaycard Mercury Prize Awards Show at the Roundhouse on Wednesday 30 October 2013.
