Dinosaur looks like their obligatory concession to jazz, the rest is undoubtedly fucking awful indie bollocks

I have The Big Moon in my 'to listen to' Spotify pile based on a recommendation from someone I trust. Currently playing Dizzee tho' so they'll have to wait.
I like the Kate Tempest record

Of those I’ve heard, really like the Sons of Kemet and Arctic Monkeys LPs.
Is XL the label with the most nominations at this stage, or the most regularly nominated?
― michaellambert, Thursday, 26 July 2018 11:32 (five years ago) link
That Sons of Kemet record is very good indeed.

It's a pointless charade though really

As a list it’s pretty much exactly the shade of beige you’d expect

That Twenty Quid thing is just as bad lol

have knowingly enjoyed sons of kemet & nadine shah.

This would be a really good year to give the award to the 'token' jazz album. Not only is Sons of Kemet brilliant, they are also fairly well known, no?
― Frederik B, Thursday, 26 July 2018 12:18 (five years ago) link
(Not saying that the jazz albums are 'token' nominees, but they never seem to win)
I thought the Binker and Moses alb was pretty fab as well, in fact UK jazz is pretty good at the moment - but these clowns never seem to have more than one token jazz nom.

The Wolf Alice record is fucking awesome.

The fact that British jazz is actually fashionable right now (look at the Friday on this year's Field Day lineup if you don't believe me) suggests it might actually win for once.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 26 July 2018 13:10 (five years ago) link
Hopefully so, Matt!
