The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos, including this one from a Toronto post-punk combo with a notable guest.


Absolutely Free ft. U.S. Girls - Currency

 

The band Absolutely Free brings a psychedelic, ‘80s-infused music video to their track Currency while collaborating with U.S. Girls (aka Meg Remy).

In an interview, the band said, “Currency is a nervy post-punk shuffle that gradually blossoms into a dense cosmic house track featuring Meg Remy of U.S. Girls on lead vocals. The lyrics contemplate how social frameworks like gender performance are built, and finds Absolutely Free reckoning with privilege and how to best use their social capital.”

Currency is filled with ambient synths and nifty beats to create a disco hit that sets the tone for the avant-garde video.

Media Beat: A Community FM Punching Above Its Weight (Column)

99.3 County FM in Prince Edward County, Ontario has admirably supported its local community as it has gone through considerable changes.

One doesn’t often hear praise for the penny-pinched community radio stations that serve rural communities in Canada, and yet there are more than 150 of them that are largely supported by local advertising, memberships, fundraisers and the small number of grants available through the Canadian Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC).

Many of these FMs are the source of local news and current events in the community as weekly newspapers have mostly gone the way of the dodo bird. Complicating their reach is Meta’s blocking of news content on Facebook and Instagram.
