Caroline Polachek
Art-pop with a trained, acrobatic voice at the centre, swooping between yodels and choirboy clarity over glossy, strange production.

About Caroline Polachek
Caroline Polachek is an art-pop artist from New York, NY.
Caroline Polachek first came to wide attention as the singer and co-writer in Chairlift, the Brooklyn synth-pop group whose song 'Bruises' reached a mass audience through an iPod advert. Alongside the band she released side projects under the names Ramona Lisa and CEP, and co-wrote 'No Angel' for Beyoncé.
After Chairlift ended she began releasing under her own name. 'Pang' (2019), made largely with producer Danny L Harle, produced the slow-burning single 'So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings'. Its follow-up, 'Desire, I Want to Turn Into You' (2023), pushed further into odd textures and rhythms, from flamenco guitar to bagpipes, with singles including 'Bunny Is a Rider'.
