Polica: a soundscape, auto-tuned vocals, and a pixie haircut. Bon Iver's Justin Vernon said this infant Minneapolis group was "the best band I've ever heard." I dig singer Channy Leaneagh's creativity with her vocals, the fact that she controls the effects herself, and the softness she achieves even while singing heavy-hearted words like, "He won't love me like that." I'm not convinced I want to listen to an entire 45-minute set unless I've got some sort of hallucinogens to go with the careening echoes and beats. But with the support of artists like Vernon and Jay-Z, it's clear we'll be hearing more from Polica this summer and beyond.
Check out Polica on Sunday at Lollapalooza.
