Polica's "Amongster" video depicts sex in the woods

• Sounds more like the Second Coming of the Cocteau Twins to me.  I can see why everyone is talking about this video, though. Those Hedgehogs are adorable!

• I was into this band before they were a band.

• The fact that anyone is already cutting their teeth into this band just goes to show you what a future they've got ahead of them!

•  It's a one-trick pony of a band and this saturation coverage is just making them boring quicker.

• @R2: I totally get your point and I do get the wider perspective. Actually, I saw Channy and Roma di Luna at the Cedar when they opened for Mavis Staples and I just loved her, but they were just kind of a well regarded local band. So, I am bit puzzled at the arc of how she went from that to this overhyped state of being.  I think the Current is having too much influence on how people listen to music in the Cities nowadays. Ironically, they promote the local and the alternative, but it is within the boundaries of their category of what is cool and worth listening to and it becomes the mainstream.

• Citizenkc47you can't control the hype once it has erupted.  this is just what happens when a band gets big.. and it wasn't all really locally that it started.  yes they were in other bands" but really it comes down to their big connections and national media hype thereafter that initially lead to this. so in this case , and I have gotten pissed at the Current and city pages many times before, "they are doing their job".  you can't get mad at them for that.  and I think media people are very "rah rah" when their local bands get big.. especially in MN there's this "sense of price" that people really hang onto.  just try to understand it from a wider perspective.  

• Gorgeous - anyone know who directed it?

• I am so sick of this band. Is the Current and CP in cahoots to promote this band? They are so massively overrated. The way Mark Wheat talks about them as if they are the second coming of the Cure or something. Puhlease!

• I want dry ice to dispense from the sidewalk every time I walk out of a building.

• I need more auto-tune!
