    The second album from polemica, released as a CD in June 2018. Full color gatefold with poster lyric sheet. Artwork and layout by Dana Smith, Marshall Weber and polemica.
    Breach reveals the gritty underbelly of the force and determination in the politics, dexterity and purpose that feed the compositions, while producing grooves that seek out shrewd dancers and liberators. Recorded in two days at the venerable Ale Sportelli Studios in Pisa, the urgency and power contained in the recording are further celebrated through the DIY spirit of self-production. Support independent music. Get this record. Play loud.

lyrics

(scorri per la traduzione in italiano tradotto da Luca Piercecchi)

you don't have to be aware of prejudgmental looks and stares
no need to fear the men in blue, even the times you have a gun with you, and
no one tries to touch your hair or imitate the clothes you wear,
outright steal your raps and beats and demand you to excel in cleats

if these small things apply to you but you still don't have a clue
i'm just trying to bring it into view
white man's privilege

you never lived from check to check, hangman's noose of bills around your neck
never felt you couldn't afford to be sick, had to stare down the sheriff when he came to evict, and you
might not tip if the service is bad, or a stock market slump might make you feel sad,
trying to decide on which private school, while seeking cheap labor to clean your pool

if these small things apply to you but you still don't have a clue
i'm just trying to bring it into view
rich man's privilege

you never felt objectified, your sex placed high above your mind
never thought about the skirt you don, no fear too short might say something wrong
never worked twice as hard making half as much, or feared violence behind every touch
or forced to continue to fight for your body, fight your safety, fight for your rights

if these small things apply to you but you still don't have a clue
i'm just trying to bring it into view
man's privilege

fight for your body, your safety, your rights

**********************************************************************
Non importa essere coscienti di occhiate e sguardi pregiudicati
Nessun bisogno di temere gli uomini in divisa blu, anche le volte che hai in tasca una pistola, e
nessuno cerca di toccarti i capelli o d’imitare gli abiti che indossi,
fregarti le rime e i beat sotto al naso e pretende che tu eccella negli sport

Se queste cosette ti rispecchiano ma ancora non hai capito bene
sto solo cercando di portarlo all’attenzione
Privilegio dell’uomo bianco

Non hai mai vissuto con un lavoro precario, col cappio delle bollette al collo
mai pensato di non potersi permettere di ammalarsi, mai dovuto affrontare l’ufficiale giudiziario faccia a faccia quando viene a sgomberarti, e
non dai la mancia se il servizio non ti piace, una caduta nei titoli di borsa t’intristisce,
cercando di decidere quale scuola privata, mentre cerchi manodopera a basso costo per ripulirti la piscina

Se queste cosette ti rispecchiano ma ancora non hai capito bene
sto solo cercando di portarlo all’attenzione
Privilegio dell’uomo ricco

Non ti senti mai reificato, il tuo genere sessuale piazzato in alto sopra alla tua mente
mai pensato alla gonna che porti, mai paura che troppo corta possa dire qualcosa che non va
mai lavorato il doppio per la metà, o temuto violenza dietro a ogni contatto
o costretto a continuare a lottare per il tuo corpo, lottare per la tua sicurezza, lottare per i tuoi diritti

Se queste cosette ti rispecchiano ma ancora non hai capito bene
sto solo cercando di portarlo all’attenzione
Privilegio dell’uomo

lotta per il tuo corpo, la tua sicurezza, i tuoi diritti
