POLIÇA is an American synth-pop and alternative R&B band that emerged from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 2011. The group is fronted by vocalist Channy Leaneagh whose ethereal and processed vocals weave through the dense and mesmeric soundscapes created by producer and co-founder Ryan Olson. Their music is characterized by a blend of electronic sounds, intricate rhythms, and melancholic melodies, creating a sound that is both enigmatic and gripping.

The band has built a reputation for their haunting, atmospheric music that explores the emotional and psychological depths of the human experience. Since their debut album, "Give You the Ghost," POLIÇA has consistently engaged audiences with their evolving style, which can be heard across a substantial discography including titles such as "Shulamith" and "United Crushers." Their more recent works, such as the poignant "When We Stay Alive," reflect Leaneagh's personal journey of recovery and transformation following a debilitating accident, lending an intimate and resilient tone to their compositions. With each release, including singles like "Madness" and "Violence" from their latest offerings, POLIÇA continues to push the boundaries of their sound, incorporating elements of avant-garde electronica and contemporary synth-driven pop, securing their place as a distinctive voice in the modern musical landscape.
