Poliça have shared a new single, She Knows Me.
Blending subtle ambient textures, acoustic guitar, and Channy Leaneagh's ethereal vocals, the poignant track offers a reflection on what it means to be truly known by someone. Leaneagh explained:
"To be intimately known at your worst and best—that’s the kind of love I know with you. I’ve heard people say we don’t want to be loved for who we are, but for who we want to be. But I’m never my best with you, and neither are you. I’m never who I want to be. And still, we love."
She added: "This song came out of the early Pachyderm sessions, but for about a year we paused working on the record—trying to figure out what we were even doing with ourselves—and during that time I started playing it on acoustic guitar. And eventually, it became this song. A long time ago, a music journalist in Minneapolis predicted we’d eventually add guitar to our music. So... here it is. Probably our last record, and it includes nylon strings, strummed by me."
Last month, Poliça introduced the album with its title track. Written following bassist Chris Bierden's glioblastoma diagnosis, and recorded at Pachyderm Studio in their hometown before Bierden lost the ability to play, the follow-up to 2022's 'Madness' leans into grief and reflection.
With Bierden no longer able to perform live, Poliça's new touring line-up now features newcomer Alex Nutter.
