2012 was a huge year for electronic pop-soul band Polica . They played Sasquatch, garnered praise from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, and released their first studio album "Give You the Ghost". Moreover, after a successful live show at the Biltmore Cabaret last August, the band is returning to Vancouver for another breathtaking performance at Vancouver's Fortune Sound Club on April 7. Advanced tickets are $17 and they can be purchased online or at Red Cat, Zulu and Highlife Records. For a chance to win [...]

2012, année pour le moins étonnante s'achève en ce lundi... En attendant de rentrer pleinement dans 2013, je vous propose de faire une petite rétrospective musica le de l'année à travers ce bilan tout à fait personnel. Alors que le 21 décembre dernier devait marquer la fin du monde, je ne peux que me réjouir d'écrire ces quelques lignes sur votre blog... Il faut dire que l'année 2012 a été ponctuée par une série d'évènements plus ou moins forts : la fin des années Sarkozy, les 60 années de règne d'Elizabeth, le retour au tout premier plan de l'affreux Poutine, le départ de Thierry Roland [...]

Con tantos discos interesantes que hemos podido escuchar este año, ha sido especialmente difícil recopilar las que, para nosotros, han sido las mejores canciones de 2012 . No obstante, es un ejercicio que nos ha servido para reencontrarnos con el placer de sentir ese tema que destaca por encima del resto en un álbum. A veces por causas meramente personales, otras objetivas y, en general, por ambas juntas. En orden alfabético, estas son las canciones que no puedes dejar pasar de este año. [...]
Reference Points is our weekly column where we get the chance to ask our favourite artists to reveal what inspires them from outside the world of music. This week, we catch up with Poliça who reveal how humble homelands and long lasting friendships have inspired their musical creations. Friends. We come from the Upper Midwest of the United States. This area of the country is not well-known throughout the world. It's not as vital at the East Coast is to culture and business, nor is it as majestic [...]
Kpopalypse Today on iTunes we got confirmation that what T has been terming the Kpopolypse has arrived. Plus also T's friend Ginevra announced that unlike the other girls in the class, it's not One Direction she's crazy for, but instead the "Japanese" band EXO-K–unfortunately we will have to burst her bubble now :( I'm sure you are dying to know what's on heavy rotation, let's get to the music starting with the duet performed on Segways by G-Dragon and TOP of Big Bang Like [...]
Hace ya algun tiempo tenia a Poliça , colectivo de Minneapolis, apuntados para compartir en la heladeria, pero otros sonidos y cosas más me los han hecho dejar para más tarde. Y llegado el día, acordada por su nuevo video para Dark Star , no puedo dejar de darles las gracias por haberme enseñado que el autotune/vocoder sirven para más que criar las espantosas cosas que cada día insisten en hacerse escuchar millones de veces. Además no [...]

DENVER, BEAR AND MOOSE, BARNA HOWARD ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Read our article on Denver . POLIÇA, SUPREME CUTS ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) Poliça make grooving downtempo tunes with singer Channy Leaneagh's woozy Auto-Tuned vocals as the central focus. Like Leaneagh and band co-founder Ryan Olson's previous stuff with Minneapolis slowdance "supergroup"/collective Gayngs, it's formulaic and at times repetitive, but executed well enough to be mostly enjoyable. Openers Supreme Cuts get [...]
Minneapolis-based Poliça (that’s with a soft “c”) might have released one of the most compelling R&B-influenced albums this year, but it's hard to get over the fact that every syllable lead singer (and Gayngs member) Channy Leaneagh utters is drenched in heavy auto-tune. Together, producer Ryan Olsen, Bon Iver's Mike Noyce on additional vocals, live drummers Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson, bassist Chris Bierden and Leaneagh have made the record "Give You the Ghost" a lush, seductive and slinky listen. The melodies are strong and graceful, however, the confidence is almost sucked out of the vocal delivery when [...]
