This woman (the singer) is so deep, inspired and lovely. Beside the unique quality of the music, it's a pleasure to listen to her. Thank you very much.
In 2013 I tuned in to watch Sigur Rós' live performance at the iTunes Festival in London. Poliça opened for them and I was instantly hooked. It's been great listening to their music since then. This is great little corner of the Internet. 😊
every new album they come out with is a fresh journey, they keep stretching the bounds of music and sounds into some of the most creative sonic landscapes, thank you for what you do and create!
Ok, so I've seen this group twice....awesome. Big sonic sounding band with primeval drums. The lead singer had an accident and then the band seemed to disappear. Good to see that she is okay, and they are back...
It’s fantastic seeing Poliça live again and the new material is fantastic. I have been lucky to have seen them in my home city of Brighton & Hove three times along with London twice and Nottingham. Looking forward to a EU/GB Tour.
I follow you since 2012 when I found Give you the ghost in my routinary library and I think your career has been growing and improving progressively. Greetings from Madrid.
Sweet Memz Lyrics by Poliça Why can’t we change time To match the way the sun shines If it’s dark outside than it’s dark within my mind I ain’t special, just one of a kind Why can’t we change time To match the way the sun shines If it’s dark outside than it’s dark within my mind I ain’t special, just one of a kind Isn’t that you, playing loud on the stereo? God if it’s me, then where’d all the time go? I didn’t know it was me Now it’s just a sweet memory I didn’t know it was me I’m too old to be free I didn’t know it was me I’m too old to be free Isn’t that you playing loud on the stereo? God if it’s me, then where’d all the time go? I didn’t know it was me Now it’s just a sweet memory I didn’t know it was me I’m too old to be free I didn’t know it was me I’m too old to be free
Omg I just got to see you guys for the first time tonight on channel 2 in Minneapolis you guys are fantastic I gotta get some of your music 🎶 you’re so awesome and so cool ‼️‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Madness Lyrics : Madness I can't get you out my mind Pretending It's not eating me alive Loss I don't need more loss Teach me That lying has a cost Do we even love at all? Do we even love? Do we even love at all? Do we even love? Searching For a memory that's true Nothing But the way I felt with you Take me I came here to destroy Empty I will suck you dry Do we even love at all? Do we even love? Do we even love at all? Do we even love?
Blood Lyrics : Stone is laid, the corners tied All the feelings cut to side I think my work is done I think I've had my fun I don't want freedom And I have none of it Once the blood is drawn It feeds the mother and the heaven sent Blood and milk Come out myself I'll die a pair One who carried on the thread and one who tread it bare I-I-I I don't have freedom And I want none of it I-I-I-I-I I don't have freedom And I want none of it Blood and milk Come out myself I'll die a pair One who carried on the thread and one who faded therе I don't have freedom And I want none of it Once thе blood is drawn It feeds the mother and the heaven sent I-I-I-I, I-I-I I-I-I, I-I-I
We had tickets to a Poliça show that got canceled right at the beginning of Covid, and I feared (based on some social media posts from Channy) that they were done making music. So happy that was not the case, as the new album is excellent.
Into Polica since the first videos popped up at the current (hehe). There has been no other band since my teenage years which had so many songs which made me listen to them over and over and over again. I´m so glad they are still out there and will be thankful for every record coming out and I think it is very fair to do music on their own terms. It´s kinda how it should be. Do whatever you want, you don´t owe me anything. I´m sure I will love it.
One of the few bands that are better with every album. My favourite band for 10 last years. And Madness is one of the saddest song I ever heard - almost the same level as Big Star - Holocaust.
Great band. I just wanted to notice something here. I listened the first song on Spotify and it was not the same at all. I don't know why it seems so different. Either KEXP has greats sound engineers or either it's from Spotify. Anyone who felt the same ?
Well, the live version has more drive and is mixed more that way too. The studio version is much more holding back and is much quiter and feels more angsty and personal. I love it when bands are able to create different versions of their songs.

Just found this great band thanx to Person of interest Q. Does anyone know who she has delay and effects at times I need something to do this as a solo artist no cash for a looper or high end stuff any one know ways this effect om vox is done.
She uses a combo of a Harmonizer and the Pioneer DJ EFX 1000. If your short on cash try to get a used Boss VE-8 Vocal Singer. You won't have the same exact array of effects but the basis to get close within your natural singing range. Better not to copy her exactly anyways right? Find your own sound, what works for your unique voice and vision!
0:23 - Sweet Memz
5:21 - Blood
9:25 - Madness
12:53 - Amongster
Much love!
Am i the only who thinks this lady is absolutely gorgeous..she matches her own voice perfectly
Damn its good to see Cheryl. Last i heard she had been very sick. Blessings Blessings & Blessings to u Cheryl. You're the best
This woman (the singer) is so deep, inspired and lovely. Beside the unique quality of the music, it's a pleasure to listen to her. Thank you very much.
Easily top ten bands of the last decade.
Have you ever had the feeling that you have found the perfect song? This is how I feel listening to Amongster. Everything is perfect!

In 2013 I tuned in to watch Sigur Rós' live performance at the iTunes Festival in London. Poliça opened for them and I was instantly hooked. It's been great listening to their music since then. This is great little corner of the Internet. 😊
Wow I bet that was an experience
That was a pretty great concert to discover them...

Loved the new remix of Amongster!! The video is so incredible.

My favourite too
i keep coming back to this. always as good as the first time
Wow KEXP, Massive guest band.. What a treat! Poliça is amazing! Thank you!
👏👏👏
What a profound interview. I love artists who don't explain, who put their art out, and allow it to take on its own life afterwards.
every new album they come out with is a fresh journey, they keep stretching the bounds of music and sounds into some of the most creative sonic landscapes, thank you for what you do and create!
Been a fan for years, they keep getting better. Gorgeous
Humanity is ending and Polica is the soundtrack
Amazing band. Shout out to the bass player, thats some great playing, creative and melodic.
"I didn't know it was me
Now it's a sweet memory"

Ok, so I've seen this group twice....awesome. Big sonic sounding band with primeval drums. The lead singer had an accident and then the band seemed to disappear. Good to see that she is okay, and they are back...

Sweet Memz Lyrics by Poliça
Why can’t we change time
To match the way the sun shines
If it’s dark outside than it’s dark within my mind
I ain’t special, just one of a kind
Why can’t we change time
To match the way the sun shines
If it’s dark outside than it’s dark within my mind
I ain’t special, just one of a kind
Isn’t that you, playing loud on the stereo?
God if it’s me, then where’d all the time go?
I didn’t know it was me
Now it’s just a sweet memory
I didn’t know it was me
I’m too old to be free
I didn’t know it was me
I’m too old to be free
Isn’t that you playing loud on the stereo?
God if it’s me, then where’d all the time go?
I didn’t know it was me
Now it’s just a sweet memory
I didn’t know it was me
I’m too old to be free
I didn’t know it was me
I’m too old to be free
3:30 there are two lines that seem to be improvised or not in the recorded lyrics
❤❤❤❤❤
They absolutely perfected it- what a combination of musicians!!!!!!!🙌💛
one the best bands there ever was
the last transition..... dammmmnnnn.
Crazy good. New fan.
hearing "Amongster" took me back to 2015 @ Spanish Moon with this band. Super emotional.
Amongster is my favorite song since i heard it in Person Of Interest series
such an underrated song and series ❤️🔥
Omg I just got to see you guys for the first time tonight on channel 2 in Minneapolis you guys are fantastic I gotta get some of your music 🎶 you’re so awesome and so cool ‼️‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The build up between Madness and Amongster! Wow!

Madness Lyrics :
Madness
I can't get you out my mind
Pretending
It's not eating me alive
Loss
I don't need more loss
Teach me
That lying has a cost
Do we even love at all?
Do we even love?
Do we even love at all?
Do we even love?
Searching
For a memory that's true
Nothing
But the way I felt with you
Take me
I came here to destroy
Empty
I will suck you dry
Do we even love at all?
Do we even love?
Do we even love at all?
Do we even love?
Blood is such a great song 🔥🔥🔥
So so so good
İnsanı alıp götüren kaybeden bir tarz. Teşekkürler bol konserler. Hissi güzel müzik 🎵🌳☀️🐝🌲🦋🌎🌹🐦
Woooow
Blood Lyrics :
Stone is laid, the corners tied
All the feelings cut to side
I think my work is done
I think I've had my fun
I don't want freedom
And I have none of it
Once the blood is drawn
It feeds the mother and the heaven sent
Blood and milk
Come out myself
I'll die a pair
One who carried on the thread and one who tread it bare
I-I-I
I don't have freedom
And I want none of it
I-I-I-I-I
I don't have freedom
And I want none of it
Blood and milk
Come out myself
I'll die a pair
One who carried on the thread and one who faded therе
I don't have freedom
And I want none of it
Once thе blood is drawn
It feeds the mother and the heaven sent
I-I-I-I, I-I-I
I-I-I, I-I-I
This slaps! MPLS represent!!
Brilliant!!!

AMEI O NOME

Merci .)
They were incredible at the Casbah!
Hell yeah it was
I'd never thought to run vocals through an EFX-1000 but now I have to try it
Is really beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Lovely sound!
UNREAL! SO GOOD

Shit, this version of Sweet Memz is so much better then ori on spotify. This bass
Damn, SBF can lay down the bass.
Just found this great band thanx to Person of interest

Super interesting way to use an algorithm.
Nice set.
Lane 8 brought me here. Thanks!
big troy nelson doppelgänger on the drums
Which model of mixer/ Synthesiser that the vocalist is using?
Looks like a Pioneer DJ EFX 1000 so a CDJ with DJ effects on the left side I think
Sorry it's a pure effects box, no CDJ
Pioneer EFX-1000
oia a poliça vino
SBF on bass?
I bet it’s not pronounced that way
It's interesting that she is a musical artist, but her spoken language skills are surprisingly poor.
