The long list of the Polaris Music Prize for 2022 includes albums by the experimental group from Montreal Chiiild, DJ-rapper-producer myst milano and indie duo Anishnaabe Ombiigizi.
The annual $ 50,000 award goes to a performer who created the Canadian Album of the Year, an award determined by an independent jury made up of members of the music media.
In 2021, rapper Cadence Weapon won the award, which was first awarded in 2006. Four previous winners appear in this year’s long list: Backxwash (2020), Haviah Mighty (2019), Tanya Tagaq (2014) and Arcade Fire 2011).
The 197-member jury reviewed musical works, regardless of commercial performance or musical genre – and this year they reviewed 223 albums. A handful of these people will be selected to join the grand jury, which will determine the final winner.
The shortlist of 10 albums will be announced on Thursday, July 14, and the winning album will be unveiled on September 19 by CBC Music. Albums released between May 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022 were eligible for this year’s award.
