At Least For Now, featuring the chilling and heavenily piano-led soul of 'Condolence', 'Cornerstone' and 'Nemesis', beat fellow nominees Wolf Alice, Gaz Coombes, Aphex Twin and Florence + The Machine among others to take home the gold. Make sure you catch him on tour at the nearest opportunity.
"Thank you. Thank you very much, I don't know what to say," said Clementine accepting his award. "I'd like to thank music, my great friend and manager Peter Hall, Gilbert Johnson, everbody... Sam Wright. I can't believe I've actually won this, I really can't.
He continued: "I would like to say that if there's anyone watching, any child or student - the world is your oyster. Just go out there and get whatever you want to get."
Before he became overwhelmed with emotion and asking his fellow nominees to join him on stage, Clementine added: "I dedicate it what happened about four or five days ago in Paris."
