Mercury Prize winners, 2010 to now
the xx started this run, sam fender has it now (so far). argue with the list, not me, I just track it
01
xx - The xx (2010)
the debut, hushed and spare the whole way through, this was the sound of that entire year of indie
02
Let England Shake - PJ Harvey (2011)
her second win, she also took it in 2001 for Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
03
An Awesome Wave - alt-J (2012)
04
Overgrown - James Blake (2013)
05
Dead - Young Fathers (2014)
genuine underdog, most people had Royal Blood or FKA twigs picked that year, this Edinburgh trio came out of nowhere for a lot of listeners
06
At Least for Now - Benjamin Clementine
07
Konnichiwa - Skepta (2016)
08

jazz basically never wins this, big deal that it did
15
This Could Be Texas - English Teacher (2024)
