Poliça - Shulamith

Review by Russell Warfield

Shulamith dents the assured sense of identity which made Give You the Ghost so utterly enrapturing.»

Buy now from:

Minneapolis band Policia release their new album 'Shulamith' via Memphis Industries. It's the follow-up to last year's 'Give Up The Ghost'. From the flurry of warped metallic electronica and razor- sharp groove of opener 'Chain My Name', with its stark and rushing refrain, the angular R&B-pop futurism of 'I Need $', its sweetly earworm hook belying lyrics of alternately helplessness and defiance, to the gliding, bird's eye meditation of closer 'So Leave', 'Shulamith' reaffirms Poliça as one of the most fascinating and vital groups in forward-thinking pop.
