Manchester four-piece Everything Everything are shortlisted in both the Best Song Musically and Lyrically category and Album Award category for Can’t Do and A Fever Dream respectively.
London MC Stormzy is also up for two gongs in the Best Contemporary Song category for Don’t Cry For Me and the Album Award category for his number one debut LP Gang Signs & Prayer.
Alongside Everything Everything, he is joined in the Album Award category by Ivor Novello Award first-timer This Is The Kit, whose Moonshine Freeze LP also received a nod.
Newcomer Dave is also in the running this time around, with a placing in the Best Contemporary Song category for Question Time, co-written by Fraser T Smith.
Fast-rising Nottingham pop behemoth Rag N Bone Man also receives his first ever nomination for Human, in the PRS for Music Most Performed Work category.
Elsewhere, previous BAFTA and Ivor Novello Award-winning screen composer Dan Jones has two more Ivor nominations this year in the Best Television Soundtrack shortlist, for SS-GB and The Miniaturist.
Songwriter and composer Mica Levi, also of Micachu and the Shapes, has received a nod in the Best Original Film Score category for her soundtrack to Jackie, alongside Dario Marianelli (for Paddington 2) and Benjamin Wallfisch (for IT).
The winners will be announced at an award ceremony on 31 May, hosted by Paul Gambaccini and the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA).
