Sound it Out # 59: Poliça – “Chain My Name” (free MP3)
On their second album, Shulamith, Minnesota’s Poliça bring a more aggressive sound to their languid, sexy music. Channy Leanagh’s vocals are the ghostly anchor to a dense electronica palette.
The new album is out on October 22 in the US, and right around there in other territories. It’s terrific.
“Chain My Name” is poppier than I would have ever expected Poliça to be. The driving bassline and prominent handclaps are perky foils to the band’s usual dark and moody tone. Download it below.
