A Look at the Polaris Long List: 40. Young Galaxy – Shapeshifting

Last album DONE! Can’t believe I made it all the way through after recklessly declaring I would embark on this foolhardy plan to do a post outlining my thoughts on all forty of the albums on the 2011 Polaris Long List that I had to listen to before voting on the Short List finalists.

I’m glad I : 1. listened to all the albums (something I don’t think all the jurors did before they voted but I won’t tell tales out of class)! and 2. decided to do this series after all though because it was something different (hey!) than the regular re-posting of video, vlogs, mp3’s, mixtapes and other sundry rubbish PR and marketing agencies inundate my inbox with every day. That sh-t gets tired (to me, at least) and there are plenty of other ‘aggregator’ blogs out there to satisfy that need if you so desire.

As for Montreal’s Young Galaxy, there wasn’t anything essentially wrong with their vaguely new wavey, 80’s-esque sound. In fact, I quite enjoyed it but their music wasn’t standout or better than a lot of other things on the list I thought deserved to be long listed. Here’s a couple joints from Shapeshifting so you can make up your own mind though:

and after the jump, check out a handful of bonus remixes of ‘Cover Your Tracks’ by Teen Daze, Freedom of Death and CFCF and stay tuned for the Polaris contest if I can pull it together….
