No nominations for PJ Harvey, Bibio and James Blake but grime features in Skepta and Kano, Radiohead might win their first Mercury music prize and David Bowie received a post-humous nomination. Here are the albums in full that are up for the shortlist.

The process has changed by the introduction of a a new finalists phase. The 12 albums will be whitled down to 6 on September 15th with the first album on the list voted for via online poll.

Those remaining six will be up for the accolade and the £25,000 prize in September.

Out of this lot, I’d go for, in order: Ahohni, Bowie, Skepta, Radiohead.
