British band Wolf Alice have broken a Mercury Prize record by becoming the only act in the award's 34-year history to be nominated for all of their first four albums.
The quartet, who won in 2018 for second album Visions of a Life, have claimed their fourth nomination for The Clearing, an album rooted in the sounds of 1970s soft rock.
Other nominees for the 2025 music prize include Pulp - also former winners - who are recognised for More, their first album in 24 years.
At the age of 84, folk musician Martin Carthy becomes the oldest ever Mercury nominee - while viral pop star PinkPantheress's adrenalin-inducing 20-minute mixtape Fancy That is thought to be the shortest ever nominated album.
The award, which recognises the best British or Irish album of the past 12 months, will be presented at a ceremony on 16 October.
