The 1975<\/a>, Foals<\/a>, Cate Le Bon<\/a> and Slowthai were among the British acts to have their recent albums land on the shortlist for the prestigious Mercury Prize, the annual award that honors the U.K.\u2019s best album as determined by a panel of artists and music industry execs.<\/p>\n

Idles\u2019 Joy As an Act of Resistance<\/em>, Anna Calvi\u2019s Hunter<\/em>, Nao\u2019s Saturn<\/em>, Dave\u2019s Psychodrama<\/em> and Fontaines DC\u2019s Dogrel<\/em> also made the 12-album shortlist, joining the 1975\u2019s A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships<\/em><\/a>, Slowthai\u2019s Nothing Great About Britian<\/em>, Le Bon\u2019s Reward<\/a><\/em> (\u201cher best album yet<\/a>,\u201d Rolling Stone<\/em> said of the LP) and Foals\u2019 Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Pt. 1<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mercury Prize-winning British artists like James Blake and Skepta \u2013 who both released new albums over the past year \u2013 did not make the shortlist, the Guardian<\/em> notes<\/a>, adding that many of this year\u2019s finalists capture the anxiety of Britain on the precipice of Brexit.<\/p>\n

Wolf Alice\u2019s Visions of a Life<\/em> won the 2018 Mercury Prize; over the past decade, albums by the xx, PJ Harvey, Alt-J and Sampha have won the award. This year\u2019s winner will be announced in September.<\/p>\n
