Can Lauren put out an album? The EP in 2001 was good, she can't be that busy with desert island discs.

Berwyn: Feel like a dick judging this very personal stuff, so I won't.

Arlo Parks: something about this venue and its acoustics makes lushly produced music sound like crap. so maybe this is actually really good, w/e I am not going to appreciate it tonight, sorry. 7/10

I knew Nova Twins would be on it on Sunday, because I was playing cricket with their label supremo, lol

(he is also Self Esteem's supremo, and Bridgers etc)

(btw what a truly abysmal collection of music, I did promise to check out Nova Twins tho)

Nova Twins FTW

Best list in years.

Yard Act alone invalidate that!

I do also need to hear the new Gwenno actually

Nova Twins are great and my favourite of the lot, but I wouldn't think their nu-metal would win over critical & popular faves like Little Simz or Wet Leg or Harry Styles.

yup, they almost certainly have zero chance, but will win in my dreams.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 18:14 (one year ago) link

Not sure who's favourite with the bookies but could.easily see the judges giving it to Self Esteem
