West Lothian band The Snuts have been shortlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year prize.
They are among 10 other artists vying for the prestigious title, presented by the Scottish Music Industry Association.
The Whitburn rockers will go up against Arab Strap, Biffy Clyro, Joesef and Lizzie Reid, among others, to win the £20,000 prize.
The album of the year shortlist celebrates the country’s most outstanding albums and the incredible network of people who created them.
From 327 eligible album submissions, to a long list of 20 records, these final 10 albums remain in the running to win £20,000, one of the most lucrative prize funds in the UK, at this month’s ceremony in Edinburgh’s Usher Hall as Scotland’s national music prize celebrates its tenth year.
Robert Kilpatrick, creative projects and communications director at the Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA) said: “The SAY Award Shortlist comprises 10 of the best Scottish records of the last year; all released throughout the pandemic.
“With some of the biggest names in Scottish music featured alongside some of our nation’s most exciting rising talents, 2021’s Shortlist showcases the exciting, diverse and resilient nature of our music community despite 18 months of significant challenges.
“It firmly recognises music’s cultural impact and life-changing value, and brings to the forefront a recorded output that all of us in Scotland can – and should – feel proud of.”
