About

Poliça is an American indie-electronic band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 2011 and built around singer and synth player Channy Leaneagh, two drummers, and producer Ryan Olson. Their sound - heavily processed vocals layered over dual live drums and dark synth textures - earned them early praise from Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and a devoted international following. The band has released eight studio albums, from the acclaimed debut Give You the Ghost (2012) through Dreams Go (2025) and the live-recorded Better Live (2026).
