I'm surprised the list hasn't been discussed. The shortlist is out:

Anna Calvi - One Breath
Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow
Damon Albarn - Everyday Robots
East India Youth - Total Strife Forever
FKA twigs - LP1
GoGo_Penguin - v2.0
Jungle - Jungle
Kate Tempest - Everybody Down
Nick Mulvey - First Mind
Polar Bear - In Each and Every One
Royal Blood - Royal Blood
Young Fathers - Dead

Who is going to win?

What would you recommend?

I really like Kate Tempest's album, but then i'm a sucker for albums with story lines in them.

blimey! I've got 3 of those.
Young Fathers is definitely my album of the year. Especially after seeing them live.

Well, you do have more music than you can keep in an NSA data centre.

Well, strictly speaking you don't, you're only renting them; lose your network access and you're stuffed.

I've bought GoGo Penguin's album. I'm only on track three but this is so good. It's like jazz and breakbeat and drum and bass having a glorious threesome.
