What’s this? A regular episode? LIKE THE OLD DAYS?! Yes folks, it’s been a little while since we did a regular, one album one band episode, and this week Chris has chosen the odd choice of Give You the Ghost by POLIÇA.

Why odd? Well, it’s a bit of a spoiler I guess, but after this album the band’s star started to fade. Pretty rapidly. Even the reviews of every subsequent album after this agree.

There’s also the fact that Chris is actually puzzled as to why he even chose this in the first place. Y’see, sometimes a funny thing happens when we chuck an album under the lens of this pod: our relationship to it changes once we analyse it closely. And this is partly why Chris was slightly puzzled by his own choice.

That and the fact that it maybe hasn’t aged as well as it first seemed.

Either way, we get to the bottom of a conundrum or two on this episode. Is Give You the Ghost an unsung classic? Let’s find out!
