Poliça and s t a r g a z e share new song together "Agree"

Poliça and s t a r g a z e have unveiled "Agree", another number from their upcoming collaborative release.

The number follows 10-minute opus "How Is This Happening?", the first single from upcoming record Music For The Long Emergency.

"I suppose it’s similar to when I listen to techno or instrumental music," explains Poliça's Channy Leaneagh. "It’s just the quieting of not having the lyrics to tell you a feeling, it’s just the notes and the rhythm, and they leave room for your mind to sit. My philosophy with Poliça and with this project was to try to be another instrument, to meld in and not always steal the show or overwhelm the sound."

"Because theirs is basically electronic music, what would acoustic instruments do?" asks s t a r g a z e's André de Ridder. "I think it's not a good idea to try and mimic the electronic sounds because they're done so well and they're so pristine. But what kind of organic elements can we add? And this is true in terms of sound, but also in terms of melodic and harmonic elements. And that opened up all these questions about what songs consist off, what sounds consist of, even what form songs can take."

Poliça and s t a r g a z e will play together at London's Oval Space on 27 February 2018.

Music For The Long Emergency is out via Transgressive on 16 February 2018.
