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.

Some of the biggest streaming services in music are banding together to fight against a major piece of Canadian arts legislation – in court and in the court of public opinion.

Spotify, Apple, Amazon and others are taking action against the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)’s 2024 decision that major foreign-owned streamers with Canadian revenues over $25 million will have to pay 5% of those revenues into Canadian content funds – what the streamers have termed a “Streaming Tax.”
