Poliça announce new album with two tracks "Driving" and "trash in bed"

09 October 2019, 10:05 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Poliça are back with details of their new record When We Stay Alive, as well as sharing two tracks, "Driving" and "trash in bed".

"Driving" and "trash in bed" are the first two new singles from Poliça since teaming up with s t a r g a z e on their 2018 collaborative album Music for the Long Emergency.

Speaking about "Driving", Poliça's Channy Leaneagh says, "Laying in bed, as I healed from a 10 foot fall of carelessness with my life, I would dream of running in green grass and tears would pour from my eyes. "Running in the tall tear grass; imagine wanting life and the want remains." That is a feeling to hold onto; that life is worth living even when all the towers are crumbling and this goes beyond my own little accident but the world around me. Following the crone into the sinking ship and having the chance to return without a shadow. Drive on, Drive on. A second chance you won’t forget."

"trash in bed" is the B-side to new single "Diriving", and won't feature on Poliça's new LP.

Half of Poliça's new album was written before Leaneagh's fall, and half during her recovery, but Leaneagh wants to look to the future, "I had been living unconsciously in past trauma. I don’t want to deny something happened - this is not about repression - it’s about taking the power back from the past, holding the power in the present, and creating a new story for myself."

Tracklist:

  1. Driving
  2. TATA
  3. Fold Up
  4. Feel Life
  5. Little Threads
  6. Be Again
  7. Steady
  8. Forget Me Not
  9. Blood Moon
  10. Sea Without Blue
"Driving" and "trash in bed" are both out now. Poliça's new album When We Stay Alive will arrive 31 January 2020 via Memphis Industries. They play London's Village Underground on 11 February 2020. Tickets go on sale Friday (11 October).
