NME on Wolf Alice's Mercury win: A brilliant band with a brilliant album

NME's Marc Beaumont argues why Wolf Alice were the one to win this year's Mercury Award: "Wolf Alice weren’t there because they were anybody’s priority act, sold a shit-ton of records, reflected any cultural movement, were the Arctic Monkeys or were a jazz band. They were there because they’re a brilliant band with a brilliant album. No agendas, no zeitgeist-chasing, no second-guessing or scoring of cool points – the best record won".
