A Look at the Polaris Long List: 32. Sloan – The Double Cross

I didn’t hold the fact that the lead singer of this group was a d-ck to me when we crossed paths at The Horseshoe about a decade ago against the group when I hit play on their Polaris-nominated album. Just as well since these veteran Canadian rockers seem to still be firing on all cylinders releasing vital music goodness knows how many years into their career at this point. All the more amazing for the fact that the album jumps from style to style including some very 60’s throwback sounding influenced songs, which is normally kiss of death in my book. In this case though, the album still manages to feel like single body of work.

I know this is not in their mandate but I always felt like the Polaris should be primarily recognizing new and emerging talent with their award but when OG acts are still making good music, you can’t help but think that they got it right when they stated their mission is to “honour, celebrate and reward creativity and diversity in Canadian recorded music [and] recognize and market albums of the highest artistic integrity, without regard to musical genre, professional affiliation, or sales history” after all.
