The annual Swedish Polar Music Prize, worth $110,000, was announced this morning.

The two winners are Iggy Pop (pictured) and the Ensemble Intercontemporain, founded by Pierre Boulez and presently led by Matthias Pintscher. He says: ‘I’m beyond excited to be coming to Stockholm in May to receive the Polar Music Prize.’
