Polica
A refreshingly creative blend of R&B electronica and dueling drums.
Overview
In February 2012, on the eve of the release of Polica's debut album Give You the Ghost, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver's frontman) told Rolling Stone, 'They're the best band I've ever heard'. A month later an appearance at SXSW inspired The Huffington Post prediction: 'This band is going to be huge'.
Now Polica, originally from Minneapolis and formed out of soft rock group Gayngs, are bringing their dreamily melodic and percussively exhilarating live show to the Antipodes. While so many indie beats-based acts fall prey to monotony, a refreshingly creative energy drives Polica's sound. Vocalist Channy Leaneagh glides over undulating synths, deft bass lines and compelling polyrhythms, delivered through a combination of R&B-influenced electronica and two drum kits.
The product is a constantly shifting and exquisitely melancholic, yet uplifting, soundscape that certainly has Bon Iver addicted.
