Minneapolis band Poliça have been KEXP favorites ever since their debut album titled Give You The Ghost came out in 2012 and introduced the world to their atmospheric and brooding R&B-tinged electro-pop sound. The band recently unveiled their 4th studio album When We Stay Alive which continued to explore the band's immersive style while lyrically tackling lead vocalist Channy Leaneagh's recent redemptive road to recovery as she healed from an life-altering accident that left her with a smashed vertebrae and battered spine.
Their exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World leans into their moody and emotionally-rich tendencies as they share an expansive range of influential and intimate songs that covers evocative jazz, adventurous R&B, dubby techno, cinematic folk, fuzzy shoegaze, experimental slowcore, downcast soul, innovative hip-hop, and more.
