Everything Everything have been installed as the 4/1 favourites for this year’s Mercury Prize by bookmakers Ladbrokes.
The 2015 shortlist will be announced by Lauren Laverne on BBC 6Music tomorrow (October 16th), and Everything Everything are out in front ahead of Jamie xx and The Maccabees.
2014 winners Young Fathers are tipped to be nominated again with ‘White Men Are Black Men Too‘, while Foals‘ ‘What Went Down‘ must surely be a good bet at 16/1.
Others at 20/1 include a few more Live4ever favourites from the past twelve months – namely Slaves, Richard Hawley and Alt-J.
