Klaxons Win 2007 Nationwide Mercury Prize

And the winner of this year's Nationwide Mercury Prize is... Klaxons' Myths of the Near Future!

Well, okay! Besting the likes of Arctic Monkeys' Favourite Worst Nightmare, Bat for Lashes' Fur and Gold, New Young Pony Club's Fantastic Playroom, Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, Dizzee Rascal's Maths + English, and a bunch of stuff only British people like, Klaxons have taken the coveted honor for this year. Last year's winner was Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's Why I'm Not-- alas, they did not go two-for-two.

The accolade-- along with the 20,000 pound prize-- were doled out in a ceremony this evening.
