The Quietus is more than made up for our old mucker William Doyle, whose debut album TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER is one of the nominated albums for this year’s Mercury Prize. East India Youth, whose debut release the HOSTEL EP was the first thing we put out on The Quietus Phonographic Corporation, joins FKA Twigs for LP1, Young Fathers for Dead, Anna Calvi for One Breath, Nick Mulvey for First Mind, Damon Albarn – Everyday Robots, GoGo Penguin – v.2.0, Polar Bear – In Each And Every One
Kate Tempest – Everybody Down, Royal Blood – Royal Blood and Jungle for Jungle (aren’t the Marketing Week Awards at a different time of year?) and Bombay Bicycle Club for whatever dross they shited out lately in the prize line-up.
