DESCRIPTION:
Debut LP demo 2012 Repressed onn Ltd Edition Red Marble Vinyl & Includes Free Download Code OF This Ethereal Experimental Indie Rock
Minneapolis five-piece Poliça have been championed by both Jay-Z and Bon Iver (whose guitarist Mike Noyce appears here on two tracks), but there's little in the way of stadium hip-hop or wistful alt-folk on their debut album, Give You the Ghost. The brainchild of Ryan Olson, the man behind soft rock collective Gayngs, Poliça combine the introspective post-R&B of the xx, the ethereal dream pop of the Cocteau Twins, and the eerie electronica of Portishead with so much Auto-Tune that they make T-Pain sound organic. Inspired by vocalist Channy Leaneagh's split from husband and Roma Di Luna bandmate Alexei Causelle, this reliance on studio trickery results in a slightly disorientating breakup album that is just as mechanical as it is melancholic. Indeed, with her Sarah McLachlan-esque tones often pitch-shifted beyond all recognition, it's regularly difficult to decipher even one c

POLIÇA (pronounced po-lisa) began as a collaboration between fellow Gayngs’ members Channy Casselle and Ryan Olson in June of 2011. By July they had completed 11 songs, made the key additions of drummers Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson, bass player Chris Bierdan, and headed into the studio. After Mike Noyce (Bon Iver) lent his voice on “Lay Your Cards Out” and “Wandering Star,” the record was brought to Austin, TX to be mixed with Jim Eno (Spoon). In a few days, the LP was completed and the band Poliça was formed. On stage, the original beats composed by Olson play amongst Channy’s passionate vocals & an intense rhythm section, that lead to a description somewhere in the area of electro-r&b goth-pop.
