Read the like 150 artists HERE at XFM but I’ve thankfully narrowed it down.
Alessi’s Ark – ‘Notes From The Treehouse’ (Virgin)
Bombay Bicycle Club – ‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’ (Island)
The Brute Chorus – ‘The Brute Chorus’ (Ska)
Dananananaykroyd – ‘Hey Everyone!’ (Best Before)
Peter Doherty – ‘Grace/Wastelands’ (EMI) (LOL, really, isn’t this for new artists?)
Florence And The Machine – ‘Lungs’ (Island)
Hatcham Social – ‘You Dig The Tunnel, I’ll Hide The Soil’ (Fierce Panda)
Let’s Wrestle – ‘In The Court Of The Wrestling Let’s’ (Stolen)
Lovvers – ‘OCD Go Go Go Girls’ (Wichita)
Michachu And The Shapes – ‘Jewellery’ (Rough Trade)
Mumford And Sons – ‘Sigh No More’ (Island)
Slow Club – ‘Yeah So’ (Moshi Moshi)
White Lies – ‘To Lose My Life’ (Fiction)
I think probably the XX will win, but I didn’t even list them most especially because I’m not convinced by their album at all. Maybe even White Lies, but the Hype around them seems to have genuinely died down. Florence is definitely in the running, although I don’t know where XFMs loyalties lie especially in the Flo vs. Le Shoe (La Roux). But I personally think that either Dananananaykroyd, Let’s Wrestle or Micachu should win. Und du?
