Out to Paul for a wicked show in the lead-up to the The Dead Albatross Music Prize for 2014. Stream the full 25 album shortlist spectacular below, and as always get in touch for download link.
Catch y’all in a fortnight, yours truly will be manning decks.
This time round on Awkward Movements, we run through The Dead Albatross Music Prize shortlist for 2014. There are 25 albums on the list, ranging from punk to classical, folk to jungle, hip hop to stoner rock, and a whole heap more!
For the unaware, Dead Albatross is an alternative to the Mercury Prize. So it’s all UK/Eire releases over the past year. The shortlist was published on 10th September, and a panel of music obsessives are currently devouring the albums before the results are collated and the winner announced on 29th October.
So tune into the show to hear something from each of these fantastic long-players…
