Very emotional new album by POLIÇA

Minneapolis-based POLIÇA releases their sixth album ‘Dreams Go’ today via Memphis Industries.

POLIÇA delivers their most emotionally resonant and texturally rich work to date. A poignant meditation on loss, resilience, and the fragile beauty of holding on. Written and recorded in the shadow of bassist Chris Bierden’s glioblastoma diagnosis, the album is both elegy and act of preservation, capturing the band at a moment of profound transition.

Since their emergence from Minneapolis’ vibrant underground in 2011, POLIÇA has carved out a singular space in electronic indiepop, blending shadowy synths, pulsating rhythms, and the unmistakable vocal presence of Channy Leaneagh, a voice that bends and refracts like light through water, shaped by intricate processing yet deeply human at its core. Co-founded by producer Ryan Olson, the band’s alchemy has long been defined by its balance of warmth and detachment, with Chris Bierden’s melodic bass lines and the duelling drums of Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson anchoring their hypnotic sound.

‘Dreams Go’ is a collection of eight new songs recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota, marking the band’s final sessions with Bierden before he lost the ability to play bass. Though born on grief, ‘Dreams Go’ is anything but static. It breathes, shimmers, and ultimately insists on the power of making art in the face of uncertainty. Whether or not POLIÇA continues beyond this release, ‘Dreams Go’ stands as a moving testament to the band’s creative bond, and to Bierden’s indelible role within it.
