The Dead Albatross Music Prize is the sensible alternative to the Mercury – truly forward-thinking, interesting British records where the labels don’t need to pay to enter. Voted for by music aficionados across the country, the prize highlights 25 exceptional records from all genres. Gareth and Anthony pick ten of the records for this week’s show.
