The always modest Mercury nominated Hot Chip have told MTV that they are putting their money on the Arctic Monkeys to win the overall Music Prize.
The band's Alexis Taylor said: "We had a nice time with the Arctic Monkeys in Sweden. We played at a festival called Accelerator over there and they were around and it was very nice. I'm gonna put some money on them! I haven't actually checked our odds yet."
Of course, given the Mercury judges' tendancy to shy away from the obvious choices when awarding the overall Music Prize, it wouldn't surprise me if Hot Chip are actually the overall winners.
