Uncut Music Award shortlist out
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 3 November 2011
The shortlist is out for this year’s Uncut Music Award, the annual best album prize that last year went to that “exciting, inspirational and rewarding” long player, erm, Paul Weller’s ‘Wake Up The Nation’. So, let’s be fair here, this is the music award that still has the power to surprise thanks to an imaginative interpretation of words like “exciting, inspirational and rewarding”.
Eight albums are up for consideration, with the winner due be announced later this month, when the next issue of Uncut hits the high street. Here’s the list, try and work out which one is the most “exciting, inspirational and rewarding”, and then have a think about which one Team Uncut will consider to be the most “exciting, inspirational and rewarding”.
Bill Callahan – Apocalypse
Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues
PJ Harvey – Let England Shake
Bon Iver – Bon Iver
Josh T Pearson – Last Of The Country Gentlemen
Radiohead – The King Of Limbs
Paul Simon – So Beautiful Or So What
Gillian Welch – The Harrow & The Harvest
