Last night, Montreal-based, French lyric quintet Karkwa won Canada’s Polaris Prize—beating out Owen Pallet, Broken Social Scene and Tegan and Sara for the top honor. However, everyone was a winner when Tegan and Sara took the stage to perform “The Ocean,” accompanied by Owen Pallet on violin. Check out the video below.

And for those of you who might be curious, a video of winners Karkwa—whose orchestral harmonies bring to mind another Montreal-based group, Arcade Fire. (It must be in the water.)
