Minneapolis five-piece Poliça have been championed by both Jay-Z and Bon Iver (whose guitarist Mike Noyce appears here on two tracks), but there's little in the way of stadium hip-hop or wistful alt-folk on their debut album, Give You the Ghost. The brainchild of Ryan Olson, the man behind soft rock collective Gayngs, Poliça combine the introspective post-R&B of the xx, the ethereal dream pop of the Cocteau Twins, and the eerie electronica of Portishead with so much Auto-Tune that they make T-Pain sound organic. Although there are flashes of dub reggae ("I See My Mother"), spaced-out country ("Wandering Star"), and jazz-funk ("Dark Star"), most of the album sticks to a similarly abstract template, ensuring that Give You the Ghost works more as an immersive mood piece than a collection of individual songs.
