The award, which is in its 32nd year, features an eclectic list of nominees from the beautiful and intense folk of Irish band Lankum to the joyous disco-pop of Jessie Ware’s That! Feels! Good!.

Other shortlisted albums include Jockstrap’s I Love You Jennifer B, Loyle Carner’s hugo and Shygirl’s Nymph, all of which featured on VF’s best albums of 2022 list.

Arctic Monkeys win their fifth nomination with The Car, tieing them with Radiohead for the title of the most nominated act in the history of the award. Notable absences from the shortlist include I Inside The Old Year Dying by two-time winner PJ Harvey, last year’s winner Little Simz and, as usual, the entire genre of metal.
