Sometime ago I posted a short blurb introducing Poliça and speculating that they will “make great strides this new year.” I’d like to retract that statement and offer a new one: Poliça will (most likely) be big. While this unfortunately means that they will become the “prize” of blogosphere eccentrics and hip music nerds, I honestly feel that this Gayngs-inspired group will be the crowning champions (at least in my book) of this highly anticipated year in music.

After the breakup of Roma di Luna, it seemed like the world would never be right again- that is until Poliça, the latest project from lead singer Channy Cassell, came strolling down this new dark, brooding alleyway. Pulling along one or two members of the supergroup Gayngs, namely the talented Ryan Olson, Poliça has recently put forth several tracks that will no doubt make great strides this new year with several performance already lined up throughout the U.S. Borrowing the murky synth soundscapes and echoing brass instrumentals of Gayngs while injecting their own unique clean beats and bass driven melodies, Poliça gives us hope that 2012 will be a successful year in music. Check out their track “Wandering Star” after the jump.
