British and Irish albums that should’ve made the mercury shortlist…
Clark - Deathpeak
Blanck Mass - World eater
Pumarosa - The Witch
Kelly Lee Owens
Jane Weaver
This Is The Kit
Forest Swords
Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard
Shall we do this in the same vein as @BMS1’s monthly threads? So basically…set a deadline for all nominations to be made. Then from that date…we all vote for 3 from the list and then add up the votes to find a winner. Don’t mind doing the counting.
Anyway, my nominations:
Slowdive - Slowdive
Laura Marling - Semper Femina
Forest Swords - Compassion
Richard Dawson - Peasant
Idles - Brutalism
what’s the cut-off with eligibility again?
Doesn’t Sean usually organize this?
31st August?
Slowdive - Slowdive
Blanck Mass - World eater
Blueneck — The Outpost
Isn’t this is the kit French?
Based in Paris now, but English I think - she certainly used to live here in Bristol.
Forest Swords – Compassion
Slowdive – s/t
Actress – AZD
Sacred Paws
Ibibio Sound Machine
No, Bristol I think along with Rozi Plain.
Ulrika Spacek - Modern English Decoration
Blonde Bunny - Worldwide 100
Also that Slowdive album is surprising it wasn’t listed.
I wish they’d reveal the list of all the bands that submitted their records/paid the £200 fee. Would be interesting to deduce who didn’t submit records.
Usually, it was a big DiS thing
This can just be another voting thread
For what it’s worth I would have Nominated…
Moonlandingz - Interplanetary classics
Richard Dawson - Peasant
Ibibio Sound Machine
Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology.
