I couldn’t find a thread for Best Electronic so thought I’d create one since that’s what I listen to most after pop

Would be so dope for Grimes to finally get a nom

By the way, remix albums aren’t eligible so that takes out Dua.

Caribou or Arca deserve to win.

 

If Grimes gets nominated, I can bet you she’s going to win. Although personally she doesn’t belong there, either in alternative or pop vocal album.

Kelly Owens new project grew on me throughout the year but I don’t think it will win.

Against All Logic is really slept on around here, it’s so amazing.

3. Flume feat. Toro y Moi – The Difference
3. Jack Garratt – Better
4. Goodboys & Medusa feat. Beck Hill – Lose Control

BEST DANCE/ELECTRONIC ALBUM
1. Disclosure – Energy
2. Mura Masa – R.Y.C
3. Caribou – Suddenly
4. The Chemical Brothers – Surrender
5. Toki Monsta – Oasis Nocturno

I feel like Breathe Deeper isn’t a dance-recording but personally I feel like that’s wishful thinking. I feel like they are going to give to specifically  producer who doesn’t sing on the track like Caribou, Nicolas Jaar, or Disclosure honestly. But who knows they come liking to LCD Soundsystem, so why not Tame Impala.

If they nominated LCD and Gorrillaz then I wouldn’t rule Tame Impala out. But we’ll see when submissions are out.

grimes is well deserving of a Grammy at some point, but Miss Anthropocene was OK at best, especially in comparison to Art Angels and Visions

I have no experience predicting in the genre but looking over the nominations and wins for album since 2011 it looks like most of the noms go to veteran acts (10+ yrs in the industry) mixed with 1 or 2 mainstream artists/djs and the occasional left-field critical acclaim pick. The veteran act typically wins unless the mainstream pick had a very very good year. The category is less welcoming to newcomers than other genres. Please correct me if I’m wrong

Album predictions:
Chemical Brothers – Surrender
Caribou – Suddenly
Disclosure – Energy
Arca – KiCk i
Little Dragon – New Me, Same Us

—————-

Mura Masa – RYC
TokiMonsta – Oasis Nocturno
Nicholas Jaar – Cenizas

Chemical Brothers won last year so it’s between Caribou and Disclosure for me

It would be iconic and hilarious if a 2nd alum of The Voice UK got a Grammy nod before any of the US alum did.

(Matt Henry got nominated for Musical Theatre album as a principal soloist (Lola) in the West End production of Kinky Boots)
