Minneapolis outfit Poliça on Friday shared a new single "Lime Habit," the first preview off the band's upcoming album United Crushers, which will be released March 4 via Mom + Pop Music.
Recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, Texas, it marks the group's followup to their 2013 set Shulamith. It is described as having a "bigger, crisper hi-fi punch" and exploring "heavily political and deeply personal" themes related to "social injustice, self-doubt and isolation."
Speaking of Texas, the band has also revealed an extensive tour starting in March, with a glaringly obvious opening the week of SXSW in Austin, just days after they perform in Dallas.
