Poliça - Shulamith
When you name an album after the controversial author of, “The Dialect of Sex,” there is a certain expectation of scholarly psycho-sexual speculation, yet listeners will find their trip through, “Shulamith,” far more emotional than cerebral. Lurking in shallow shadows, swimming in thick wicked predicaments, the album’s provocative sonic sauna forms stormy polyrhythmic fictions for war-torn robotic pop steeped in sultry pulses, seething seizures and creepy sea-weed libido. Studio-baked aches lay steel-traps on velvet laps, thrusting lusty hustles from double-fisted trysts into brazen subterranean nocturnes plummeting and crumbling in heart-wrenching tension. Formed in the summer of 2011, this Minneapolis unit returns to Madison having blown away crowds at the first FRZN Fest, this time headlining the Barrymore Theater December 7th with the equally steamy Lizzo.
