Gayngs was a surprise. Prince-loving indie supergroup who turned out to be legitimately funky? Who woulda thought. Polica furthers the group's lineage with more shit that just hits real smooth. Gayngs' Ryan Olson and singer Channy Casselle lead the group, Casselle front and center with her potently echoed voice riding over forward drums and driving bass. "Dark Star," a number with a lot of pensive drum play and the charm of mid-tempo ’80s R&B, is from their debut album, full of the same kind of power and unashamed brass breakdowns. Polica are also on tour, see dates below the song.
