The Low Anthem, whose double bill with The Swell Season was recently announced for this summer's Celebrate Brooklyn! series, is now up for two awards that will ultimately be decided by music fans: the Mojo Honours List and The Phoenix Best Music Poll.

Today is election day in the UK, which means the country may have a new Prime Minister by tomorrow morning or, perhaps, a hung parliament. While the country mulls over the impact of this and the prospect for proportional representation, Mojo magazine is asking Britons to take a crack at another vote: for the Mojo Honours List. The Low Anthem is nominated for Breakthrough Act of the Year. Fans in the UK can make the most of the national election momentum and vote online at mojo4music.com.

In The Low Anthem's hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, the independent weekly The Phoenix, has nominated the band for its 2010 Best Music Poll in two categories: Local Superstars and National Roots/Americana. In the latter category, the band finds itself up against label mates Wilco, which closes out its Australian tour with a sold-out set in Melbourne tonight.

On less contentious fronts, fellow Nonesuch artist Bill Frisell, who is currently in the midst of a two-week residency at New York's Village Vanguard, is up for the Best in Jazz. And The Magnetic Fields front man Stephin Merritt is up for Best Singer/Songwriter. He recently performed the score he had written for the film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at the San Francisco International Film Festival and will present it again at the Seattle International Film Festival next month.
