POLIÇA

About

POLIÇA is an American band from Minneapolis, formed in 2011 by singer Channy Leaneagh and producer Ryan Olson. Their sound - dark synth-pop driven by dual drums and Leaneagh's heavily processed vocals - drew immediate attention when debut album "Give You the Ghost" arrived in 2012. Bon Iver's Justin Vernon called them "the best band I've ever heard", and the band has since released eight studio albums, most recently "Dreams Go" (2025) and live record "Better Live" (2026).
