The American synth-pop cult favorites are back and better than ever
Today Poliça shared their rousing, defiant new single “Forget Me Now”, the second from the band’s forthcoming new album 'When We Stay Alive', due January 31st via Memphis Industries. Poliça is set to tour the UK in February and will play a special release show at St John's Church, Kingston on 6th Feb in association with Banquet Records.
Speaking on the track, they said:
'Forget Me Now' is letting off some steam. It's about recognizing a pattern of choosing people who can’t love you how you wish to be loved. It’s still remaining very grateful, counting blessings day and night; but don’t confuse being at peace with being a pushover”, says singer Channy Leaneagh. “I think I wrote these words while angry-shoveling this winter. How does it go? ‘Choose a liar once and that’s the liar’s fault; choose a liar three times and it seems maybe I like liars?’ All the songs are about me and none of them are; this isn’t an excerpt from my diary but it has been many times".
