Words: Sam Geary
Minneapolis synth-pop band Poliça, led by Channy Leaneagh, have shared their new single/video, titled 'Forget Me Now', taken from the band’s forthcoming album 'When We Stay Alive'. Produced by Poliça co-founder Ryan Olson, it is set for release on January 31 2020 via Memphis Industries.
“‘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," says Leaneagh of the track. "It’s still remaining very grateful, counting blessings day and night; but don’t confuse being at peace with being a pushover. 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 likes 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."
The video, below, was directed by friend and long-term collaborator Isaac Gale, and precedes the band's UK dates next year.
