CMAT - EURO-COUNTRY
Emma-Jean Thackray - Weirdo
FKA twigs - EUSEXUA

I've only listened to twigs & Fontaines DC so far (will get around to the others eventually)... I love EUSEXUA and want that to win. They tend to pick something more obscure though so I'd expect a Pa Salieu win.

…I so miss your album review thread, it was always a great reminder to catch up on the year’s releases…

Pleased for Sam but his win is a little baffling... he isn't new, the album wasn't a wildly different take / innovative thing from him, and if it was a legacy win then I think Fontaines DC would've made more sense.

twigs was robbed
