Northern Wish Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Wouldn't it be more interesting at this point if Polaris were to just release a very short list of Canadian albums that were released last year that DIDN'T make the long list?

dave-O Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Agreed, this list does suck as much as the Argos. DevO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Braids vs Caribou for me. Gotta do some listening. But those are the only two that are at all interesting to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Caribou or Alvvays from the ones I recognize.The Badbadnotgood/Ghostface album is disappointing IMO. Need to listen to Braids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just read that Frazey Ford has Al Green's backing band on her Indian Ocean album from the long list. Sounding good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
