Polaris Cover Sessions No. 1: Whitehorse / Sarah Harmer / Great Lake Swimmers (2015)

"The Polaris Music Prize is a music award annually given to the best full-length Canadian album based on artistic merit, regardless of genre, sales, or record label." So, the Polaris Cover Sessions are a series of cover records."

This one is as 10" record, containing three cover versions:

1) Whitehorse covering Bones Of An Idol, originally recorded by the New Pornographers;

2) Great Lake Swimmers covering I'm A Mountain, originally recorded by Sarah Harmer;

3) Sarah Harmer covering Odessa, originally recorded by Caribou.

By the way, this 10" record was pressed on orange vinyl. Many were given away free in local records stores. In some cases, you had to purchase a shortlisted records; in other cases, any purchase would do. I think my copy was free with no strings attached. I cannot find any of these cover versions on Youtube.
