Freshly inked to a new label, the local band returned to the national spotlight.

Depending on whom you asked, Poliça either botched its national TV debut on "Fallon" this past February or fell victim to suspect sound engineering. The electronica/R&B act returned to national spotlight last night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and fared considerably better. Poliça performed "Dark Star," a cut off their 2012 debut album "Give You the Ghost," which was recently reissued via New York label Mom + Pop.

A hipster take on Auto-Tuned R&B remains firmly in the take/leave category, but frontwoman Channy Leaneagh & Co. appeared more comfortable and locked into tighter grooves. The lyrics? Still indecipherable, but that's not really the point. You can watch the performance below.
