With striking black and white shots over the sparse, seductive track, Feist's new video for "Anti-Pioneer" is inviting and sensual. The Canadian singer sensually curls words over the slow, gentle sounds of the song, leading to string swoons as the tension builds. Feist looks troubled, wandering and sorting out her emotions in shades of black and grey.
"Anti-Pioneer" is on Feist's latest album, Metals.

"Anti-Pioneer" is on Feist's latest album, Metals.
Feist performs during the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.The Polaris Awards have announced their shortlist of 10 albums that are up for the 2012 prize, including Drake's Take Care, Feist's Metals, Japandroids' Celebration Rock, Grimes' Visions, and Fucked Up's David Comes to Life. Also included are Handsome Furs' Sound Kapital, Kathleen Edwards' Voyageur, Yamantaka // Sonic Titan's YT // ST, rapper Cadence Weapon's Hope in Dirt City, and Cold Specks' I Predict a Graceful Expulsion.
The final nominees were announced today at the Drake Hotel in Toronto at an event hosted by CBC Radio 3's Craig Norris. Now in its seventh year, the Polaris Music Prize awards $30,000 to the artist responsible for Canadian Album of the Year, which is chosen by a jury of over 200 members of the Candian music media. The other nine nominees receive $2,000 courtesy of Slaight Music. Albums are "judged solely on artistic merit, without consideration of genre or record sales," a statement reads.
Cadence Weapon, Feist, Fucked Up and Kathleen Edwards are the only artists in this year's final 10 who have made the shortlist twice. Cadence Weapon's Breaking Kayfabe was nominated in 2006, Feist's breakout The Reminder was in 2007, Edwards' Asking for Flowers was in 2008 and Fucked Up's The Chemistry of Common Life took home the grand prize in 2009.
Back in June, Polaris announced its long list of nominees. Notable omissions on the shortlist including Leonard Cohen's Old Ideas, The Weeknd's Echoes of Silence and 2007 winner Patrick Watson's Adventures in Your Own Backyard.
This year's winner will be announced at the Polaris gala on September 24th. The event – which will follow the actual voting – will feature performances from the artists on the shortlist and will stream live on Muchmusic.

Click to listen to Doug Paisley's 'Learn to Lose (feat. Feist)'
In "Learn to Lose," Doug Paisley shares a piece of hard-won knowledge: "Take my advice and study the blues / Don't wait too long to learn to lose." Against a lush, melancholy melody, the Canadian country singer-songwriter describes the complex and unpredictable relationship between memory, novelty and nostalgia, the things we lose and the things we carry with us. At first blush, some of the song's most memorable lyrical images – childhood novelty toys like "arrows through the head" and Mexican jumping beans – may seem trivial, but Paisley says that to him, they're essential.
"There are people who take serious things lightly and those who take light things seriously," Paisley explains. "Cecil Null said 'I've forgotten more than you'll ever know,' and I've always remembered the display case of jumping beans on the candy store counter."
The new song features backing vocals by Feist, who also appeared on Paisley's most recent album, Constant Companion. On April 17th, No Quarter will release Paisley's Golden Embers EP, a collection of tunes recorded during his December 2011 tour. A new full-length will follow in the fall.

To read the new issue of Rolling Stone online, plus the entire RS archive: Click Here Feist on stage during the 2012 JUNO AwardsFeist was honored as Artist of the Year at last night's 2012 JUNO Awards at Scotiaband Place in Ottawa. Michael Buble's Christmas was named Album of the Year and the Sheepdogs scored Single of the Year for "I Don't Know." Heartthrob Justin Bieber was the Juno Fan Choice, and stalwarts Blue Rodeo took their place in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
There were some surprises. Solveig & Dragonette's "Hello" topped four-time winner Deadmau5 (whom host William Shatner called "Deadmow") in the Dance Recording category. Relative newcomer Arkells beat out Hedley and the oft-maligned Nickelback for Group of the Year. Buble's win for a holiday album may have been the biggest upset, as Christmas beat out Drake's Take Care, Avril Lavigne's Goodbye Lullabye and Nickelback's Here and Now, as well as Justin Bieber's own holiday entry, Under the Mistletoe. Drake had to settle for Rap Recording of the Year.
The Sheepdogs tied Feist with three Juno Awards, bringing home New Group of the Year, the top single award and Rock Album of the Year for Learn & Burn. In addition to Artist of the Year, Feist won Adult Alternative Album of the Year for Metals and Music DVD of the Year for Look At What the Light Did Now. Folkie Dan Mangan was also a big winner, grabbing Alternative Album of the Year for Oh Fortune as well as the award for New Artist of the Year.
Another Canadian icon, Bruce Cockburn, won Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Solo for Small Source of Comfort. And it wouldn't be a proper music awards show without Adele, who won International Album of the Year for 21.
A complete list of winners can be found on the official Juno Awards website.
