Metronomy too! :open_mouth:

Maybe people dismissed it and haven’t heard it?? It’s a wonderful album from a band who got laughed out of town to some degree.

16

That was my thinking too. Great album imho.

Gonna chuck my backing in for Mogwai ATLC to win, of course. I’m not overly optimistic given their second placing in the group but anything is possible. Go on Mogwai! :heart_eyes:
