Angine de Poitrine Awarded 2026 Polaris Prize
Angine de Poitrine's double win at the Polaris Prize is quite the statement, especially when they're the first to pull off that particular trick. It's brilliant to see a Quebecois act getting this kind of recognition on the Canadian music stage, and it speaks to the fact that great songwriting and album craft still matter when the judges are listening carefully. For Cledvibes Radio listeners who follow what's happening in independent music across the border, this is one to keep an eye on, because achievements like this often signal something worth discovering.
From Pitchfork: The Quebecois duo became the first act to scoop both prizes for the best Canadian album and song of the year
