Regardless of how some may feel about it there’s no denying that the Polaris Music Prize is a big deal for fans of Canadian music. This year’s ceremony will be awarded tonight (September 23) and we’ve got a stream of the whole thing below.
For the sake of debate and/or placing your bets these are the albums up for the $30000 grand prize:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor – ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!
Zaki Ibrahim – Every Opposite
Metric – Synthetica
METZ – METZ
Purity Ring – Shrines
Colin Stetson – New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light
Tegan and Sara – Heartthrob
A Tribe Called Red – Nation II Nation
Whitehorse – The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss
Young Galaxy – Ultramarine
Just think of how many theremins Godspeed could buy with that kind of cash.
The Polaris pre-show kicks off at 5 p.m. MST with the official ceremony taking place at 6 p.m. Both will stream on the YouTube player embedded below.
