Chicago-based indie rock band French Police sounds like a MUST for fans of Motorama, DIIV… The record largely follows the band’s signature sound, which they describe as being characterized by “fast melodies”, “distant voices with short verses”, and “lots of reverb”; however, some of the tracks sport a more traditional song structure with longer verses and more prominent vocals, such as the lead single, “Dance With Me” (a dark, captivating bop with a ghostly atmosphere) and “Mission” (a warm, yet somber track with pulsating 80s-style drums). Sonically, Haunted Castle carries a sense of melancholia that can be felt on tracks like “Sushi And Sex”, “I’m Upset”, and “Future Past” (a spacey, ethereal number with strong vocals).
Released March 2026 by Icy Cold.
