Poliça
Polica (often also written as Polica ) is an American indie rock band from Minneapolis, whose sound is influenced by electro and R & B. Tonal features arise primarily through the parallel use of two drums. The band was founded in 2011 by Ryan Olson and Channy Leaneagh.
Name of the band
Channy Leaneagh stated in an interview that the band wanted to wear a unique name and that he came from a computer file, which bore this name after a crash and restart your computer.
The Guardian is on the other hand, if it were a Polish word that meant urgent action. Another source indicates that Channy Leaneagh have said in an interview that it was the Polish word for politics and they see it as a symbol of solidarity of fellow musicians. However, both can not correct. The Polish translation for urgent action is Pilna Akcja and polityka politics. In addition, the letter ç is not part of the Polish alphabet.
First album
The first album called Give You the Ghost was released in the U.S. on February 14, 2012. In Germany, the album was released on May 11, 2012. Justin Vernon stated in Rolling Stone, it was the best band he ever heard ( " They're the best band I've ever heard. ").
