Young Fathers win Scottish Album of the Year with ‘Tape Two’

Young Fathers have been awarded this year’s Scottish Album of the Year, for 2013’s ‘Tape Two’ release.

The release arrived ahead of their 2014 full-length ‘Dead’ - at the time, it was technically declared to be a mini-album / EP, but it was eligible for inclusion in a shortlist that also featured Chvrches, Mogwai and Boards of Canada.

A prize of £20,000 was awarded to the band as courtesy of Creative Scotland.

“‘Tape Two’ is an extraordinary album and a deserving winner,” said Stewart Henderson, Chair of the Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA).
