  • 2009 Short List Media Release
    POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ANNOUNCES 2009 SHORT LIST FOR BEST CANADIAN ALBUM For immediate release Toronto, ON (July 7, 2009) Steve Jordan, Founder and Executive Director of the Polaris Music Prize, today revealed the Short List of 10 Canadian albums eligible for the fourth annual $20,000 award. The 10 nominees are, in alphabetical order: Elliott BROOD – Mountain Meadows (Toronto, ON) Fucked Up – The Chemistry Of Common Life (Toronto, ON) Great Lake Swimmers – Lost Channels (Toronto, ON) Hey Rosetta! – Into Your Lungs (and around in your heart and on through your blood) (St. John’s, NF) K’NAAN – Troubadour (Toronto, ON) Malajube – Labyrinthes (Montréal, QC) Metric – Fantasies (Toronto, ON) Joel Plaskett – Three (Halifax, NS) Chad VanGaalen – Soft Airplane (Calgary, AB) Patrick Watson – Wooden Arms (Montréal, QC) “If there’s a common thread to these records, it’s that each artist built on previous successes by pushing themselves into even riskier artistic dimensions. Listeners will find the jury picked quite an ambitious crop this year. This is exactly the kind of artistry that Polaris aims to support,” said Jordan. For the first time in Polaris history there are repeat nominees on the Short List. K’NAAN, Malajube and Metric also made the cut in 2006, and Plaskett, VanGaalen and Patrick Watson made it in 2007. In another first, there are no debut albums on the Short List. A jury of 182 music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers from across Canada submitted their top five picks for best Canadian album released between June 1, 2008 and May 31, 2009. These picks were narrowed down to a Long List of 40 which was made public June 15, 2009.
