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 fast-rising Montreal indie rock trio.

Caveboy - Landslide


Caveboy is an indie pop group from Montreal composed of Michelle Bensimon, Isabelle Banos, and Lana Cooney. The band stated that landslide is about desire, attraction, and the urgent and unavoidable need to connect with someone at that very moment.

“We wanted to make a music video that would elevate the raw sensuality and electricity of the lyrics. And working with D.W Waterson was a no brainer. Her fierce passion and artistic talent were hard to ignore. Landslide speaks of an insatiable hunger to see real progress for equality in our industry and the world”. The music video finds the group moving through a steamy, sweaty, hot yoga session which then evolves into a neon lit party.

‘Protect the Prize’: The Polaris Music Prize Undergoes Its Biggest Period of Change

Now entering its third decade, the Canadian critic’s prize has expanded its voting pool, adjusted to financial constraints and expanded to award both albums and songs. After years defined by its refined focus, the changes mark a major expansion of the organization’s mission.

In 2025, the Polaris Music Prize celebrated its 20th anniversary. Entering its third decade, the award is undergoing what might be its biggest period of change. From funding to voting process, the organization is continuing to evolve.

The cultural not-for-profit organization has spent the better part of two decades creating a space in the industry for Canadian acts to be recognized based solely artistic merit, rather than sales, genre or support from a record label. Founded in the 2000s as Canada's answer to the Mercury Prize, the organization became a registered Canadian charity in 2017.
