The Minneapolis-based band’s new album Shulamith drops October 22nd courtesy of Mom + Pop Records (US), October 21st on Memphis Industries (UK), and October 18th on Inertia (Aus). Check out the band’s latest track Smug, it’s pretty much it more of the same ole good stuff from spectacular band. I am so looking looking forward to this sophomore LP release more than I’m looking forward to Christmas! Peace. Continue reading “poliça // smug”
pony bwoy // hallowed ground + dark soccer
pony bwoy // hallowed ground + dark soccer
Pony Bwoy is the latest project from rapper/singer/provocateur Jeremy Nutzman (aka Spyder Baybie Raw Dog), this time teaming up with producer Hunter Morley. Departing from his usual antics as a drugged-up after-party boy late to the club, Nutzman has now blossomed into a soulful smooth-talker, with vocal chops and rhythmic control of uncanny proportions. This transformation is no doubt a result of his collaborating with H. Morley and his forward thinking R&B-inspired production. The songs of Pony Bwoy vary from dance floor anthems to late-night chill zone lullabies perfect accompaniment for conjoined intimacy and solo exploration in the fine art of herblaxation. Album drops tomorrow July 16th. Peace. Continue reading “pony bwoy // hallowed ground + dark soccer”
poliça // tiff (justin vernon)
Poliça’s first new recording since Give You the Ghost and as much as I raved about them last year I am simply over the moon to hear their brand new single, Tiff (feat. Justin Vernon). No new information about their sophomore album but I’ll just take what I can get for now and enjoy this. Peace. Continue reading “poliça // tiff (justin vernon)”
poliça // the maker (gardens and villa remix)
You’ve likely noticed (if you have a history here) that I’ve reviewed several songs by Poliça and here is yet another reason for me to continue my on-going admiration for this great Minnesota band.
Dropping August 14th, Mom + Pop Music will reissue Poliça‘s recently released debut album Give You The Ghost. SPIN.com described the Ryan Olson and Jim Eno produced band’s sound as “tough, R&B-bent, live wire electronica that doubles as Auto-Tune delight.”
In Addition, Poliça (Channy Leaneagh, Chris Bierden, Drew Christopherson and Ben Ivascu) will also release The Dark Star EP with reinterpretations of tracks by the likes of Exitmusic, Aluxe and others. Good stuff. Here, “The Maker,” the impressive production duo Gardens & Villa have worked their collective magic for the Dark Star Remix EP. I can’t wait to here the rest of the EP. Peace.

poliça // wandering star (official video)
The ring is on my hand,
And the wreath is on my brow;
Satin and jewels grand
Are all at my command,
And I am happy now.
~ Edgar Allan Poe
I thought an excerpt from the prince of melancholy would be utterly and resoundingly appropriate for this the official release of the latest video, “Wandering Star” by Poliça. This ELY directed visualscape is so damn beautiful and I may and will lose hours getting lost watching it’s saddening and exquisite beauty . Peace.

Poliça // Lay Your Cards Out (Video) + New Tour Dates
The band Poliça just added additional tour dates for 2012 and I’m ever so thankful. I missed their show in Chicago and now I’ll be able see them here in Michigan! Poliça has got to be one of the sexiest bands in existence today. Yeah it’s the music, but without a doubt Channy Casselle-Leaneagh is a major ingredient to their appeal with her (she’ll hate for this ) pixieish good looks and seductive singing voice and style. A big thumbs up to one of most darling records in my collection. Peace. Continue reading “Poliça // Lay Your Cards Out (Video) + New Tour Dates”
poliça | the maker
I just purchased Give You The Ghost by the quasi-R&B band Poliça and I am thoroughly mesmerized. Their debut album was released way ahead of the February 14th Valentine’s Day date previously given and I’m not complaining at all.
The Gayngs majordomo Ryan Olson co-produced Give You the Ghost with Jim Eno. And when couple these talents which the likes of lead-vocalist Channy Leneagh’s the result is hair raising.
Check out a 89.3 The Current live set of the wondrous song “The Maker,”. You’re going to fall hard for Poliça. Peace. Continue reading “poliça | the maker”
