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 Saskatchewan band whose lineup features rising star Andy Shauf.


Foxwarren - Lost on You

This group of siblings and childhood friends from the Prairies is now based out of Regina, Saskatchewan. Members include Andy Shauf, Dallas Bryson, and brothers Darryl Kissick, and Avery Kissick.

Shot by Mark Klassen and Hope Little, the video is set in Nevada's Death Valley as they light up the desert with experimental lighting effects and LED tubes.

Shauf looks back on the group's debut release in an interview: “So much time and effort went into making this album; it's something I think we're all really proud of … Making the album was such an enjoyable time - the collaboration and frustration of it all. All of us are trying to make something better than we previously had. We've been a band for 10 years or so and never properly released an album, so this is special for the four of us.”

Of note: Shauf is currently receiving international success as a solo singer/songwriter.

Alex Lifeson on New Music With Rheostatics: ‘There Are No Rules or Expectations’

The all-star collective's new album, The Great Lakes Suite, also features Laurie Anderson and the late Gord Downie.

Thirty years ago, Toronto’s Rheostatics went high-concept with Music Inspired by the Group of Seven, a National Gallery of Canada commission to pay homage to early 20th century Canadian landscape painters. It was an arty and abstract conceptual piece, incorporating free-form composition and recorded dialogue from the painters and historical figures such as Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Ever since then, the band’s Dave Bidini tells Billboard, “We’ve always bandied about, ‘How can we do something like that again?’ So we’ve been searching for a while, and one night I literally had my head on the pillow, and I thought about the Great Lakes.”
