Sheffield indie rocker Alex Turner has been nominated for this year's Nationwide Mercury Prize.
This is the third time Turner makes the Mercury Prize shortlist.
Last year he was shortlisted with his original band Arctic Monkeys, after winning with the band, and their album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm No, in 2006.
This year Turner has made the Mercury Prize shortlist with his side-project The Last Shadow Puppets.
Turner and his The Last Shadow Puppets collaborator Miles Kane go up against 11 other shortlisted artists, including Radiohead, Estelle and Adele.
Chair of judges Simon Frith said: "It's been a strong year for UK music and we again saw a rise in the number of albums entered for the prize.
"One of the intriguing developments is the increasing blurring of different genres, with musicians clearly absorbing influences from a growing array of divergent sources - resulting in some great albums."
The shortlist of 12 albums of the year is chosen by an independent judging panel, which includes musicians, producers, presenters and music journalists.
The panel's decision is based solely on the music on the albums rather than on commercial sales success, organisers said.
The list was announced at an event in London's Covent Garden.
Albums released between July 2007 and July 2008 are eligible for this year's prize and previous winners include Klaxons, Arctic Monkeys, Antony and the Johnsons, and Dizzee Rascal.
