Good Debut. "Amongster," "Dark Star," and "Lay your cards out" are the highlights for me on this record. Great tunes that will find their way to mainstream and get stuck in your head. Gave it 3 stars because some of the songs I can do without and they tend to blend together. Also, as I played the album for the third time found myself growing tired of some of the sounds of the lead vocals and lack of power of the album. If you are into Phantogram, Purity Ring, or spacey-glam-synth beats with a female singer, you will like this album. I have a feeling this is a band that is much better live and their true sound didn't transform as well as it could into a studio recording.

If one would like to read an excellent bit about the genesis of the band, check out the online article circa Valentine's Day by Chris Roberts at Minnesota Public Radio, found specifically on the Daily Circuit page.
The CD is packaged in an environmentally friendly way and comes with a lyrics sheet.
Band members are Channey Leaneagh, vocals, Chris Bierdan, bass, Drew Christopherson, drums, and Ben Ivascu, drums. Ryan Olson is the man behind the curtain.
Mike Noyce of Bon Iver is featured on the beautiful "Wandering Star" as well as "Lay Your Cards Out."
If a director were looking for soundtrack music for an edgy, mysterious, and sometimes suspenseful flick, some tracks on this disc could be a nice fit.
Personally, I find it to be great music for motion, like driving or biking.

hypnotic yet energetic...I'm so hooked. The more I listen to it the more I am impressed by the attention to detail....its a glimpse into the future, sure to inspire many other artists

Highly processed, echoed and reverbed vocals above strong drumming and throbbing bass.
Heart wrenching melodies that walk the line between dance and despair.
Extraordinary !

We saw Polica at 1st Avenue, and got the CD today. A spectacular and very cool soundscape. Not quite like anything else.

This outfit from Minneapolis is one of the best bands to come out this year. 2 drummers, a bassist, and a vocalist playing through a TC Helicon Voicelive module. A lot like Celebration, but more electro. Top-notch music.

This is a fascinating CD. The style is very electronic and avante garde. Makes me want to see them live.

Only 2 really good songs... but this type of music just isn't my thing.
Dark Star
Lay Your Cards Out
I wish I had just purchased them instead of the album but I don't feel too bad considering I only spent 1/2 of what I would have buying them on itunes. Yay Amazon music!

Good Potential
There are some good songs and some great melodies but the over-processed vocals get very tiresome after a few listens. Read more

Good Album
Some tracks get a little on with themselves and the listener can fade out, but all in all, this is a solid album with several great tracks.
