GAYNGS are complicated. Comprised of numerous factions, each with their own unique traits and strengths. While some choose to never leave the hub, others break free and carve their own path. Out of these secessions is where we find the birth of something new and refreshing. This is Poliça.

After collaborating in the studio and live on their most recent project (GAYNGS), it became apparent to vocalist Channy Leaneagh (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. Inititally 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.

By July, the pair had completed 11 songs and enlisted the talents of drummers Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson and bass player Chris Bierdan. With these key additions they headed into the studio, bringing Mike Noyce (Bon Iver) to add his vocals on  "Lay Your Cards Out" and "Wandering Star". To round it all out, the album was brought to Austin, TX, where it was mixed with Jim Eno (Spoon).

The album is now complete and ready to be heard by the world. With it's sultry R&B rhythms and intensesly electro, goth-pop vibes, it could not be more perfect for a Valentines Day release. Look out for it V-Day 2012.
