"I hope we don't let him down."This was the reply of POLIÇA's leading lady after hearing that Justin Vernon had recently dubbed her experimental band as the best he had EVER heard. Bon Iver's front man is not the only illustrious fan they have gained, before that Jay-Z posted about them on his own Life+Times blog.
Times must be very exciting for the Minnesota band even when you consider that POLIÇA only started as an experiment to see if two people's individual talents could converge and become successful.
I'm not going to try and pinpoint their sound in fear of sounding a bit wishy-washy but the stand out thing about their song "Lay Your Cards Out" is the haziness of it all. The live drums with the melancholic backing is perfect, and the whole thing complements the heavy use of auto-tune wonderfully (it's a really good, creative auto-tune. Not a crappy, T-Pain-y auto-tune). The song also features Mike Noyce from Bon Iver as a little treat.
Tschüss!!!
