Give You the Ghost by Polica

Give You the Ghost, the debut album from Minneapolis's Poliça, first came out on Totally Gross National Product, then got a second life when Mom + Pop Music reissued it with a remix EP in tow. Channy Leaneagh, who sings and plays synth, is the fixed point, her voice drifting through a haze over bass lines and drums that lurch and stutter somewhere between slow-jam R&B and indie pop.
"Wandering Star" and "Dark Star" set the mood, hazy and heartsick, while "Amongster" pushes the pulse a little harder. It climbed to number 15 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, a modest start for a band that has since made seven albums, and Shulamith came next.
