Poliça - Give You The Ghost

Review by Sean Adams

Enter Poliça, slinking in from stage left. Six months ago their name barely registered on Google (unless you were looking for an Italian policeman) but The Blog Machine and ageing respect-mah-authority Rock Writers have been knocked for six by tracks from Give You The Ghost - some even going as far as naming them The Band of SXSW™. Driving all of this <3-ing is ‘Lay Your Cards Out’, an oblique pop ditty that starts off pirouetting in space, and as it begins to hurtle out the spaceship doors - whilst seeming motionless - the whole song soars and skitters along the crest of a double-drumming wave. »
