Your New Favourite Band #91: Polica

March 28th, 2012

The geniuses behind indie behemoth, Gayngs, return with a new project, Polica. The transition also sees the introduction of Channy Leaneagh on vocals to incredible effect. The result is some of the most beautiful languid electronica we’ve had the pleasure of putting on the nation’s airwaves.

Lay Your Cards Out displays the best use of autotuned vocals since Bon Iver first introduced us to The Woods. Its use is certainly not to hide a lack of talent, instead it’s an inspired technique used to add depth to the swirling atmosphere. The gorgeous vocal melts into the synths and together they hug the cacophony of drums and percussion.

We make no apologies for littering this with superlatives. This is the best thing you’ll hear this month.
