Poliça play a dark yet delicate brand of ambient rock that, if you haven't heard, you must check out now. Fronted by Channy Leaneagh, the Minnesota band ends up approximately halfway between Joy Division and The Cocteau Twins. Their 2012 debut "Give You The Ghost" and its single "Dark Star" landed the band toward the top of many best-of lists, and, as they get ready to release a follow-up this year they stream a new track, "Tiff," which features Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. They unveiled the track at Coachella last weekend. No surprise—it's gorgeous. Listen below. [...]
"They're the best band I've ever heard", claimed Bon Iver's Justin Vernon when he first heard Poliça last year. Now he's lucky enough to collaborate with the American band on their latest single Tiff , released ahead of a second album due later this year and performed for the first time at this year's Coachella Festival in California (see below). Vernon's input into Tiff appears to be pretty minimal, besides trading vocal duties with frontwoman Channy Leaneagh. You'll find none of his soft falsetto or gently plucked guitars here - this is a [...]
Minneapolis' Poliça teamed up with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver for the first single, "Tiff", from her new album later this year. The pair performed the track this past weekend at Coachella (see video below). This is a reunion of sorts as the two contributed to the group Gayngs a couple of years back. Listen below.

Justin Vernon ( Bon Iver ) has teamed up with friends Phil Cook (formerly DeYarmond Edison with Vernon, currently Megafaun ) and Brian Moen ( Peter Wolf Crier ) to form blues-rock trio, The Shouting Matches . They released Grownass Man on April 9. Fans of the genre will immediately take to this record, yet also note that the record isn’t breaking any new ground. Instead, the trio is proving their capability at putting out gritty, Southern blues with ease. Grownass Man sounds like a side-project for all [...]
On last year’s UK tour, Justin Vernon in some subtle ways threatened that it might be the end of Bon Iver . Ever since then he seems to have been doing a bit of a Dave Grohl , performing ‘Tiff’ with Polica at the weekend, releasing a recorded version by the Monday on the same day as debuting an album with another project, The Shouting Matches . It seems our favourite bearded crooner hasn’t taken a day off. Remind you of anyone? [...]
Daughter - Perth (Bon Iver) v Ready for the Floor (Hot Chip) My love for a cover is well documented, my love for two covers stuck together is unparalleled, also, Daughter. Performed on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show a couple of weeks ago and pretty much as close to perfect as you can get.
Au début du mois, nous apprenions une improbable contribution de Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver ) sur Ashes In The Air de The Flaming Lips , annonçant la sortie de The Terror , leur tout nouvel album. Le festival Coachella étant plein de ressources et de surprises , ce fut au tour de Poliça de s'offrir les talents de Justin l'hyperactif. [...]
It has been a little while since we've heard new material from Polica , the Minneapolis indie rockers who caught the internet's ears with their 2012 album Give You the Ghost . Their newest track Tiff features fellow Northerner Justin Vernon, or the lead singer of Bon Iver. The track isn't a very far cry from Polica 's previous material. Synthy layers and thunderous drums provide the perfect backdrop for leadsinger Channy Leaneagh's haunting voice. Vernon joins the party, trading washed out vocals with [...]
Pero mirad que cosa mas maja tenemos entre manos, “Tiff” , un nuevo tema de Poliça junto a Justin Vernon ( Bon Iver ).
Having aired the track at their recent Coachella performance Poliça have today unveiled the studio version of their new single, 'Tiff', featuring none other than Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. Poliça's debut album, last year's 'Give You The Ghost', was a triumph, with Vernon himself calling the Minneapolis five-piece "the best band I've ever heard" . You could say the colloboration was innevitable. 'Tiff' is a dark, dubby beast that has Channy Leaneagh and Vernon's vocals intertwining to claustaphobic effect. It's devestating.
Poliça released one of my favorite albums of the past few years, Give You The Ghost , that was so haunting and had such replay value. The same exact thing could be said about Bon Iver's self-titled sophomore release too, so of course it's fitting that Justin Vernon himself is joining Poliça for new single "Tiff". I didn't/am not going to Coachella this year so I missed out on their live collaboration Friday but will happily take this recorded gem as a FOMO consolation. Love this jam and cannot wait for their new LP [...]
photos by Kyle Johnson and Dave Lichterman Minneapolis band Poliça released their single "Tiff" from their upcoming album, and the song features Bon Iver's Justin Vernon . The track a synth pop dream - darkly lit by the echos of Vernon's voice in the background.

After last year's very excellent Give You the Ghost , one of our favorite albums of last year, we weren't really expecting to get any new music from POLIÇA any time soon. So when the Minnesota-based band announced a new single, "Tiff," we got a little excited. And when we found out that it featured none other than Bon Iver 's (among other projects) Justin Vernon , we got even more excited. [...]
Justin Vernon's branching out a little bit lately - first there was that blues-rock record with the Shouting Matches , now he's helping out his Gayngs bandmates Channy Leaneagh and Ryan Olson with some otherworldly diva vocals on this new single from their band Polica , "Tiff." Vernon joined them to premiere the track at Coachella, but now you can hear a studio version - it's a gorgeous, dubby film-noir soundtrack of a song (in the vein of Polica's most memorable jams), with astral planes of synth [...]
![[Song of the Day] Poliça (feat. Justin Vernon) – “Tiff”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4893619_lg.jpg)
Poliça (feat. Justin Vernon ) "Tiff" Poliça was definitely one of my favorites from last year and after catching them in concert two weeks ago and hearing a few of their new songs I'm very excited for any new music they release. I didn't have to wait long for a new studio recording, because just this weekend the Minneapolis based band released "Tiff" featuring [...]
Poliça’s debut Give You The Ghost scored highly in the lists last year ( check it out ) so it’s pleasing to see that they’re back so soon with a new single, featuring fellow Gayngs member Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). “Tiff” hasn’t lost any of Polica’s intriguing spacey synth-scapes, and Justin Vernon’s soothing vocals meld effortlessly with Channy Leaneagh’s to form a somewhat pleasant gloopyness – and if space-gloop doesn’t quite sound like a good thing on paper? That’s understanding, but have a good listen anyway... By Nathan Hetherington [...]
