Here it is, the complete 2014 Polaris Music Prize short list! It's a varied group with a mix of previous nominees and some relative newcomers.
You can view a photo slideshow of the shortlisted albums above.
If you're new to Polaris, the award recognizes and promotes albums based on artistic integrity, without regard to genre, professional affiliation or sales figures. The Polaris Music Prize jury is comprised of music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers.
The $30,000 prize will be given to the winning album at the Polaris gala on Sept. 22.
