Polaris 2012 - Short List Reaction

I would replace Feist (yawn) and Cadence (somewhat awkward flow) with Patrick Watson and Rich Aucoin - both of which are exceptionally full albums, the former being beautiful and lush, the latter being energetic and fun.

I haven't spent enough time with Yamantaka // Sonic Titan to knock it but I did think Dan Mangan's ambitious effort was deserving.

Didn't pick it - but I can totally get behind Drizzy.

Cadence Weapon Hope in Dirt City
Cold Specks I Predict A Graceful Expulsion
Drake Take Care
Kathleen Edwards Voyageur
Feist Metals
F__cked Up David Comes to Life
Grimes Visions
Handsome Furs Sound Kapital
Japandroids Celebration Rock
Yamantaka // Sonic Titan YT//ST
