Poliça Premiers New Video On Life+Times

IODA artist Poliça is premiering their new video for the single “Lay Your Cards Out”, off their recent debut album Give You The Ghost, on Jay-Z’s lifestyle website Life+Times! “Lay Your Cards Out” is a prime example of Poliça’s custom blend of sultry R&B rhythms and intensely electro, goth-pop vibes. With Channy Leaneagh’s dynamic vocal experimentation, processing, and synthesized textures fitting in perfectly with the lush, electronic sound-scape of Ryan Olson’s arrangements. “Lay Your Cards Out” also features Mike Noyce of Bon Iver. Poliça says that this is “the first tease of more to come”. The video is a soft and smoky hypnosis of a girl, a beat and a black curtain.

Featured Artist: POLIÇAAfter collaborating in the studio and live on their most recent project (GAYNGS), it became apparent to vocalist Channy Leaneach (formerly Casselle) and producer Ryan Olson that they should form a collective of their own. Olson’s pop sensibilities and electronic adventurism would prove to be the perfect vehicle for Channy’s recent evolution from a roots-folk band vocalist to a R&B-bred performer. Thus, POLIÇA was born.

In June of 2011 the two began writing the songs that make up POLIÇA’s debut, Give You The Ghost. Initially the tracks were arranged with Olson’s beats and sequences, leaving room for Channy to apply her dynamic experimentation. Playing with vocal processing and synthesized textures, her additions fit perfectly into the lush, electronic sound-scape of Olson’s arrangements.
