That one and the one prior to it, 'J'aurai les cheveux longs', are the brace of the album for me.
I think it's pretty clear who'll win the Polaris 2021 now :)

the Polaris shortlist release is one of my favorite events of the year because I know I'm always about to be exposed to so much dope music I'm not plugged into yet
going to go into a music hole for the next week to dig into all this

might be fun to poll the longlist next year instead to see how it compares to the jury selection

Sampled a few tracks from each album here and there, ended up listening to the Backxwash in its entirety.

can't not vote with my heart (lido) even though she already won

So grateful Pantayo was included, such an amazing album. I'd put "Kaingin" on any shortlist of my favorite songs at this point.

btw if Caribou or US Girls wins this it will be the biggest disgrace in Canada's cultural history

nothing worse than artists getting retrospective props for the much better music they used to make, after making really mediocre albums
― Chip-vill-A (imago), Thursday, 15 October 2020 18:46 (three years ago) link
well there's a few things worse but
I love that Caribou album so, so much in the context of his discography! US Girls is the weakest of the last three amazing albums tbh but it's still A+ imo
Objectively I think the "best" album here is... the nêhiyawak album. It's crazy, crazy good, I can't believe this band just shat out "the best album XTC never made" as their first offering.

Can you imagine something even approaching this wild even getting on the Mercury shortlist let alone winning?
