Django Django, Lau, Admiral Fallow and The Twilight Sad are among the artists shortlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year Award - seen as the country's own version of the Mercury Prize.
The shortlist also includes Stanley Odd, Human Don't Be Angry, Paul Buchanan, Human Don't Be Angry and more.
Missing out on nominations after being longlisted were acclaimed indie bands like Errors and The Unwinding Afterlives and hugely successful artists including Emeli Sande and Calvin Harris.
Chair of the independent panel of judges, John Williamson said: "Although there was a strong longlist including some hugely commercially successful albums, the ten chosen for the short list are those that best reflect the range of music made by Scottish artists in 2012.
"It includes debut albums and ones by people who have been making music for 30 years, solo albums and collaborative projects, genres from folk music to hip-hop.
He added: "It is perhaps a measure of the collective quality that it is hard to see an obvious winner from the ten."
The multi-million selling Emeli Sande missed out on the SAY awards shortlist
