Belle & Sebastian, The Twilight Sad and Idlewild are some of the stand-out names to have made the longlist for the latest Scottish Album Of The Year award.
Belle & Sebastian are nominated for ‘Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance‘, while The Twilight Sad are honoured thanks to Live4ever’s album of 2014 ‘Nobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave‘. Another of our essentials from last year, King Creosote‘s ‘From Scotland With Love‘, is also nominated.
Elsewhere, Young Fathers‘ Mercury-winning ‘Dead‘ is up for the prize a year after their nine-track EP ‘Tape Two‘ came out on top.
