FEIST WINS THE SEVENTH ANNUAL SHORTLIST MUSIC PRIZE
February 4, 2008, Los Angeles: Canadian singer Leslie Feist is the winner of the Seventh Annual Shortlist Music Prize for her album The Reminder. Feist is the second female artist to win the prize, following Cat Power who won the award last year. Feist was chosen by a panel of five Listmakers: recording artists Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol) and Ronnie Vannucci (the Killers), journalist Rev. Moose (CMJ), radio DJ Chris Douridas (KCRW) and the hosts of Hunnypot Internet Radio.
In a statement, Listmaker Gary Lightbody called The Reminder “the album of the year for 2007 or any year I can think of: it’s modern and classic all at once. There are so many kinds of beauty in this record.”
Feist is the first Canadian winner of the Shortlist Music Prize, joining Irish singer Damien Rice and Icelandic band Sigur Ros as Shortlist winners who hail from outside the US. Previous winners also include American artists Sufjan Stevens, N*E*R*D and TV on the Radio.
The remaining nine finalists for this year’s award were Arcade Fire, Burial, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A., Spoon, Stars, Wilco and Working for a Nuclear Free City. The finalists were selected from the initial Long List of 54 nominated albums.
NOMINEEES ANNOUNCED FOR SEVENTH ANNUAL SHORTLIST MUSIC PRIZE
December 21, 2007, Los Angeles: The Shortlist Organization announced today the Long List of nominees for the seventh annual Shortlist Music Prize, a peer-selected award that recognizes the most creative and adventurous albums of the year. The 54 nominees were selected by a panel of five Listmakers: recording artists Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol) and Ronnie Vannucci (the Killers), journalist Rev. Moose (CMJ), radio DJ Chris Douridas (KCRW) and the hosts of Hunnypot Internet Radio.
Nomination to the Long List is the first step towards the Shortlist Music Prize. Any album released in the US from January through November, 2007 was eligible for nomination, so long as it had not been certified gold for domestic sales of 500,000 units. Announcements of the ten Finalists and the Shortlist Music Prize winner will be made in early 2007.
Nominees range from female solo artists Feist, M.I.A. and Keren Ann to electronic artists Justice, Burial and LCD Soundsystem. Eighteen of this year’s nominated albums were created by artists who have been previously nominated for the Shortlist Prize, including Bjork, PJ Harvey, Wilco, Kings of Leon, Spoon and Iron and Wine.
In all, artists from nine countries were nominated, including Peter Bjorn and John and the Hives from Sweden, Digitalism from German, Feist, Stars and Arcade Fire from Canada, and Brazilian DJ Gui Burrato. The 54 albums on the Long List were released by 48 different record labels. In chronological order, the six previous Shortlist winners are Sigur Ros, N*E*R*D, Damien Rice, TV on the Radio, Sufjan Stevens and Cat Power.
