The LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT – ” Forged Artifacts “
Posted: September 3, 2014 in CLASSIC ALBUMS, MUSICTags: Fat Possum Records, Ryan Pollie, The Los Angeles Police Department
We loved LAPD’s debut record so much that we ended up handling the UK release of the record via our off-shoot tape label Gold Flake Tapes and even included it in our end of year album list. A few months on from that release and Ryan Pollie’s ascendency continues in mighty fine style with the release of a brand new track, Insecurity, which will be release later this month on a 7″ via the wonderful Fat Possum Records label.
A more dense affair compared to the sprightly indie-pop showcased on his debut LP, “Insecurity” once again handles small-town afflictions and transforms them in to affectingly sumptuous bursts of endlessly addictive pop songs. A down-trodden pave its way through the tracks three-and-a-half minute running time, worn and slightly ragged it brings out a new side to LAPD, a more warped and other-worldly display than the one we were initially so enamoured with, but one that’s just as rewarding.
