Polaris Music Prize Caribou – Andorra
Caribou - Andorra

Congratulations to Dan Snaith and his band Caribou (formerly Manitoba) on winning the 2008 Polaris Prize. I guess the bumpershine pundits had it wrong when they picked Plants and Animals as the winner and Caribou as the tenth runner-up*.

* Well, since I never did a second round of voting, all those picks were just short list favorites, not really winners.

Watch a video of Patrick Watson presenting the award after the jump.
