Caribou Takes Polaris

By David Topping

We’re at the Phoenix right now for the invite-only Polaris Prize gala, surrounded by people far more respectable than us, and it’s just been announced—by last year’s Polaris winner Patrick Watson (via pretaped video; he made one for each nominee)—that the grand jury has anointed Carbou’s Andorra this year’s winner. And no-one here is more surprised than Dan Snaith of Caribou! More coverage soon.

    Ugh seriously? That thing pales in comparison to Basia!

    I also figured it would be Basia Bulat.

  • johnpee

    That was the best of the lot by far.

    I am so happy that Caribou won. It does NOT pale in comparison to Basia Bulat. It is a fantastic album with the best songwriting Canada has seen in a long time. Absolutely deserved to win.

    Personally, I felt Holy Fuck should’ve won.
    At least Caribou can buy a lot of blow now.
