Once a year, a jury convenes to select the best album to come out of Canada, and they award that album with the Polaris Music Prize. Yves Jarvis’ All Cylinders won the award last year, and past honorees include Arcade Fire, Feist, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Caribou, Fucked Up, Kaytranada, and Backxwash. This year's Polaris Prize will be awarded at Toronto's Massey Hall in a special Sep. 22 ceremony, featuring performances from many of the nominees. The Polaris people have just unveiled the shortlist of 10 albums up for this year's prize, and you will be happy to learn that masked Quebec math-rock absurdists Angine De Poitrine were not snubbed.
