The Kater cover is the second and final session planned for 2020 that feature past Polaris nominees interpreting songs from albums that have received Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize designation. The result is a different type of isolation lament, 10 years later.”

To reflect this, we kept some of the original instrumentation - banjo, electric bass - and added modern elements of synths, vocoder, bowed bass and programmed drums. Now, at 27, I see the song in the framework of pandemic solitude. “It touches on the isolation and internal chaos of being a teenage girl. “It was an interesting challenge to adapt Broken Social Scene’s ‘Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl.’ I chose that track because I loved it when I was 17,” said Kater. Kater provided vocals, banjo, synths and background vocals, while Ryan provided upright bass, electric bass, drum programming, keys and background vocals. This version of “Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl” was produced by Kater and Andrew Ryan and mixed by Darren McGill at Union Sound Company. Additionally, an audio stream of it can be found on the Polaris Soundcloud channel.

The Cover Sessions series is also supported by Re:Sound.Ī performance video of the song is now available via the Polaris YouTube and Facebook channels. The Polaris Music Prize has released the video for its second SiriusXM Polaris Cover Session for 2020 featuring Kaia Kater covering “Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl” from Broken Social Scene’s Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize-winning album, You Forgot It In People.
