Polica began working on Music for the Long Emergency just before the release of 2016's politically charged United Crushers, and they give the issues they explored on that album extra depth and heft with the help of Berlin's orchestral collective s t a r g a z e. The band couldn't have chosen better collaborators: s t a r g a z e have loaned their skill at bridging the worlds of orchestral, electronic, and indie music to a who's who of artists including Shara Worden, Owen Pallett, and the National's Bryce Dessner. It's no surprise, then, that Music for the Long Emergency feels well considered; it doesn't sound like strings grafted onto Polica songs, nor are Channy Leaneagh and Ryan Olson's voices, synths, and beats overwhelmed by dense arrangements. Instead, the groups arrive at a blend that's harmonious -- or, when necessary, dissonant. "Speaking of Ghost" conveys its anguish with a climax of atonal brass and strings; on "Marrow," it feels like Polica and s t a r g a z e are daring each other to go farther -- and louder -- as their sounds collide. Sometimes the daring goes too far, as on "Cursed," a glitchy, slightly awkward track featuring Minnesota rapper Crescent Moon. Leaneagh's intimate voice and lyrics remain Polica's greatest strengths, and Music for the Long Emergency is at its best when they're the focus, as on the gorgeous opening track "Fake Like" and "Agree," a poignant expression of boundary issues ("Being good to you/While losing me"). While Leaneagh's songwriting may be more abstract than the typical protest song, she connects the dots between personal emergencies and political ones on Music for the Long Emergency. Written immediately after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the ten-minute "How Is This Happening" moves from the dawning horror telegraphed by its curdled flutes and strings and funereal trumpets to resolve when Leaneagh sings "We've got a lot of work to do." Similarly, the title track teeters between ominous and hopeful like the fine line between a crisis and an opportunity. Even if it's not always as coherent as Polica and s t a r g a z e's own albums, Music for the Long Emergency's experiments balance ambition and emotion in admirable ways. ~ Heather Phares

商品の紹介

米シンセポップバンド、ポリサとアンドレ・デ・リッダーを中心とする音楽プロジェクト、スターゲイズのコラボバンド!ポリサ・アンド・スターゲイズが新作をリリース!
米ミネアポリスで結成されたシンセポップバンド、ポリサがアンドレ・デ・リッダーを中心とする音楽プロジェクト、スターゲイズとコラボして誕生した、ポリサ・アンド・スターゲイズ。2017年7月に、連続20分間にわたるポリリズムを用いるミニマリストのパイオニアであるスティーブ・ライヒの「Music For Pieces of Wood」(1973年)をベースに制作された『Bruise Blood: Reimagining Steve Reich's Music for Pieces of Wood』のリリース後、新たに制作されたニュー・アルバム『ミュージック・フォー・ザ・ロング・エマージェンシー』!
2016年に出会い楽曲制作をスタートさせた彼ら。当時、アメリカでは大統領選挙の真っ最中であり、ドナルド・トランプが新大統領として選ばれた時であった。本作にはややダークであり、同時に美しさが混在している曲が多く、それは制作当時の様子を反映している。

Clash - "Recorded with Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, their sound is simultaneously laid bare and enriched by its cinematic qualities."
Rovi

Polica began working on Music for the Long Emergency just before the release of 2016's politically charged United Crushers, and they give the issues they explored on that album extra depth and heft with the help of Berlin's orchestral collective s t a r g a z e. The band couldn't have chosen better collaborators: s t a r g a z e have loaned their skill at bridging the worlds of orchestral, electronic, and indie music to a who's who of artists including Shara Worden, Owen Pallett, and the National's Bryce Dessner. It's no surprise, then, that Music for the Long Emergency feels well considered; it doesn't sound like strings grafted onto Polica songs, nor are Channy Leaneagh and Ryan Olson's voices, synths, and beats overwhelmed by dense arrangements. Instead, the groups arrive at a blend that's harmonious -- or, when necessary, dissonant. "Speaking of Ghost" conveys its anguish with a climax of atonal brass and strings; on "Marrow," it feels like Polica and s t a r g a z e are daring each other to go farther -- and louder -- as their sounds collide.

ボン・イヴェールも絶賛するミネアポリスのポリサと、ベルリンのマルチ音楽集団であるスターゲイズ--2017年にスティーヴ・ライヒの再解釈曲で注目を集めた両者が、初のコラボ盤を発表。〈トリップ・ホップとチェンバー・ポップの出会い〉とも呼べる重厚なサウンドスケープを描いており、トランプ政権発足の直前に書かれたという歌詞は少々ダークだが、チャニー嬢による包容力のある歌声が抜群に心地良くて……。
