Embodying the lost and lonely void that often comes with being single and nursing a broken heart, it’s no surprise Poliça’s debut album was borne out of a break up. A whirling mass of auto-tuned, R&B flecked electropop, ‘Give You The Ghost’ marries urgency with layers of beats and Gayngs singer Channy Leanagh’s honeyed vocals. Created with Gayngs founder Ryan Olsen and Bon Iver’s Mike Noyce, it’s an album that reels you in, enveloping everything in a black mist, from the slick protestations of ‘Dark Star’ to the surging intensity of closer ‘Leading To Death’.
