Poliça
“Dark Star”
Give You the Ghost, 2012

Having overloaded on the new Knife album somewhat in recent weeks, I started scanning around the annals for stuff that might hit a similar spot when I came across this.

Poliça left no big impression on me in those cold, dark wintry nights when I first discovered their album ‘Give You the Ghost’ last year. Somehow they didn’t quite seem to stand out from the rest of the post-Silent Shout, post-XX crowd.

But maybe I just happened to pick the right day to give Poliça another chance - one of the first sunny days of the year in the UK - a warm Bank Holiday in May with gorgeous sunshine and many happy folk enjoying their day off. Poliça’s stylised moodiness seemed to reflect off this carefree ambience, all of a sudden transforming into a radiant shimmer I hadn’t quite managed to get a handle on in the winter.

While some might find the auto-tune effect on Channy Leaneagh’s voice unnecessary (she can obviously sing just fine), in this new light it shimmered and wobbled, as though hearing it from the bottom of a swimming pool - that moment when the sunlight manages to glint off a wave and temporarily blind you.

Most of all, Poliça truly know their way around a melody. It was difficult to pick a highlight from the album for this entry, so I went with the single. I can’t recommend the whole album highly enough though

yeah, they’re alright in our book too.
