The 2012 Polaris Short List was announced today (July 17) at The Drake Hotel in Toronto, ON.<\/p>\n

Polaris Founder and Executive Director Steve Jordan was pretty excited about the List.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Our jury is showing an ever growing passion and dedication to reviewing, discussing and advocating their selections. This has resulted in a Short List of records that are musically focused, intense and in some cases highly personal. The process of selecting a winner should prove to be an invigorating challenge for our Grand Jury.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Here is the 2012 Polaris Music Prize Short List:<\/p>\n

Cadence Weapon â\u20ac\u201d Hope In Dirt City
\nCold Specks â\u20ac\u201d I Predict A Graceful Expulsion
\nDrake â\u20ac\u201d Take Care
\nKathleen Edwards â\u20ac\u201d Voyageur
\nFeist â\u20ac\u201d Metals
\nFucked Up â\u20ac\u201d David Comes To Life
\nGrimes â\u20ac\u201d Visions
\nHandsome Furs â\u20ac\u201d Sound Kapital
\nJapandroids â\u20ac\u201d Celebration Rock
\nYAMANTAKA \/\/ SONIC TITAN â\u20ac\u201d YT\/\/ST<\/p>\n

The 200+ writers, editors, producers and media figures who make up the Polaris Music Prize jury pool chose the Short List by submitting ballots listing their Top 5 albums from the previously announced<\/a> Long List of 40 eligible albums.<\/p>\n

Now it’s on to the big show, the Polaris Gala, being held in Toronto on September 24, where a Grand Jury made up of 11 Polaris jurors will be sequestered Papal conclave-style until they decide which one of the 10 Short List albums will be declared the best Canadian album of 2012.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this year’s Short List our friends at RDIO<\/a> will once again be hosting the Polaris Record Club starting in August. The Polaris Gala will be broadcast through our partners at Sirius XM<\/a> and MuchMusic<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
