Woah, didn’t see that one coming. You’d think the Mercury Prize would go to a heavy-hitter like Laura Marling or Radiohead for In Rainbows. But nope, the largely slept on bunch of dour Brits in Elbow have stolen the prize.
The dudes in the band were rightly chuffed with the win too, saying, “This is the best thing that’s ever happened to us.”
Oath.
