Poliça

I heard Gayngs for the first time last summer.  It was my last day in Victoria and Stacy picked me up from my summer home/couch at Jolene and Corey's. We bought a buttload of booze, and hung out on Alison's famous green couch listening to music.  Not only do they have one million band members, but Gayngs are sexy. Which now, when I think back maybe there was an ulterior motive putting them on. Y'know, like putting on Barry White or Al Green. Check out their Philosopher Kings cover. Ooh baby!

Gayngs man, Ryan Olson recently produced the debut album Give You The Ghost for Poliça.  This album is quickly growing on me.  Bon Iver has even praised them to Rolling Stone, "I've been listening to this band Polica from Minneapolis a lot lately, they're the best band I've ever heard." Lead singer Channy Leaneagh sings with auto-tune.  So now I need to expand my auto-tune allowed list.  Kanye West, Bon Iver, James Blake, and now, Poliça.  This music is sesssssy, it makes you shimmy yer shoulders and wag yer butt around.  The song "Form" has the (pardon my lame-guage) grooviest bass on the album making this song my current favorite.  But I feel like this is one of the albums where your favorite song changes until you've loved each one "the best."

Check out "Form" below:

This is Poliça's official video for "Amongster."

This is the album cover, which I think is fuckin' rad. The font reminds me of the movie "Drive" and the 80's scrawl looks so good in contrast to the calm, pretty and slightly creepy photo.

Aaand just cause I want to, check out this awesome live video of them performing "Wandering Star" on The Current. Yey dual drummers!
