Caroline Elizabeth Polachek is an American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer.Born in 1985 to a classically trained musician, she learned to sing and play synth as a young child while simultaneously absorbing the influence of traditional Japanese songs and Enya, which her parents would play to calm her down. She formed the band Chairlift with her then-boyfriend Aaron Pfenning in 2005, which formally broke up in 2016. Caroline began releasing solo music under the pseudonym "Ramona Lisa" in 2013 while still a member of Chairlift, but it wasn't until the band had officially broken up that her solo career began to truly flourish.Caroline's 2016 collaboration with PC Music's Danny L. Harle on "Ashes of Love" cemented her as a member of the then-fledgling Hyperpop scene, and she has since collaborated with Hyperpop mainstays like Charli XCX note On "Tears", "New Shapes", and uncredited vocals on "Delicious", A.G. Cook note Uncredited vocals on "Lifeline," "Alright," and "Chandelier," as well as a remix of "Oh Yeah", felicita note On "Marzipan", and more. Her first album under her real name, 2019's Pang, was produced by Harle and catapulted her to new heights as a critical darling (with Dazed even naming it the best album of the year) and a bona-fide indie-pop star. She has since released two singles, "Bunny Is a Rider" (2021) and "Billions" (2022), the former of which was named "Best Song of 2021" by Pitchfork. Both songs are featured on her sophomore album, Desire, I Want To Turn Into You.Caroline's Signature Style is defined by her powerful, almost operatic vocals and dreamy, lush instrumentals. She touches on themes of love, longing, and fear in her lyrics. Besides being a vocalist, she is also a talented instrumentalist, and frequently directs and edits her own music videos. | |

Creator Cameo: The cover art of Desire, I Want to Turn Into You features Caroline posing inside a crowded train car, and among the people behind her is recurring co-producer Danny L. Harle, who is also carrying his daughter. The songs "Bunny is a Rider" and "Dang" also feature a sample of a baby giggling, which was confirmed to be of Harle's daughter. | |

Ascended Meme: Caroline's appearance at PC Music's 2020 online music event "7 by 7" — which consists entirely of Caroline walking around a lake and making various vocalizations to herself — resulted in a meme based around several moments where she imitates the screeches of nearby geese. In her 2023 track "Dang" (a bonus track for the deluxe edition of Desire, I Want to Turn Into You), she would sample that particular screech, and the song's single artwork displays her arm painted to look like the head of a goose. | |

Album Closure: "Parachute," the last track of Pang, is one of the most slow and dreamy songs on the album, with lyrics about embracing change in keeping with the album's overarching narrative of a breakup and subsequent new relationship. | |

Escapism | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_495c9e84 | comment |
Escapism: A major lyrical theme throughout Desire, I Want To Turn Into You, which — as the title implies — frequently expresses Caroline's wish to not merely indulge in, but become the things that she loves about the world, isolated from her problems and indulging in the luxuries of self-control. "Welcome To My Island" is a pretty tongue-in-cheek thesis for the album on the matter (Caroline frequently describes it as her most "bratty" song for just how entitled it is), and it's also tied to songs like "Blood and Butter" and "Fly To You," which describe escapism through being with loved ones. | |

Metal Scream | |

Metal Scream: Caroline is able to pull off the rare high-pitched variety, as seen in tracks like "Dang" or Charli XCX's "Tears." When combined with her often gentle and serene instrumentals, the effect manages to be simultaneously gritty yet also oddly soft and ethereal. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: The slides in Caroline's PowerPoint presentation from her performance of "Dang" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert range from baffling to hilarious, but due to the fact that she speeds through them to the beat of the music, you're likely to miss many of them. It's definitely worth your time to go through and pause to read each one though. Highlights include a Notes app apology for eating a friend's grapes (a reference to this poem), the color of the year being a slab of concrete, and a slide that just reads "YESSSS oh my god this is so much fun HAHAHAHA." | |

Christmas Songs: Caroline released a Sequel Song for "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings" called "So Cold You're Hurting My Feelings" in December 2020 via PC Music's "Pop Carol" livestream, a Bizarro Universe version that replaces the original's steamy, lustful lyrics with wintry, christmas-y ones (for example, "show me the banana" becomes "I'm a good girl, Santa"). | |

Epic Rocking: "Door" manages to clock in at over five minutes thanks to its minute-long outro that consists of Caroline vocalizing wordlessly over a buzzy, abrasive instrumental. The "Extended Mix" of "The Gate" is over 10 minutes long, in stark contrast to the original version which stops just short of two. | |

Silly Love Songs | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_a040ed2e | comment |
Silly Love Songs: "Caroline Shut Up" is about as saccharine as Caroline can possibly get: a self-talk assuring herself that it's okay that she loves her partner so much that it almost feels like too much. "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings," though it does have some angsty lyrics, is at its core a very sweet song about missing a long-distance lover and wanting to be with them. Likewise, "Ocean of Tears," despite its morbid-seeming title, is about Caroline yearning for contact with a new lover and hoping for a long and happy future with them, even if it takes some work. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: It's hard to notice if you aren't actively looking for it, but about halfway through the music video for "Bunny is a Rider," a box labeled "Whole New World" is visible, referencing a song by fellow PC Music affiliate and Hyper Pop pioneer SOPHIE. Since "Bunny" was released only a few months after SOPHIE's death, this was likely intended as a subtle dedication. It's debated on whether or not "Bunny Is a Rider" is intentionally referencing "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" by of Montreal. References Alice's Adventures in Wonderland on "Bunny Is a Rider," which also contains the lyric "Tryin' to go ask Alice." "Hopedrunk Everasking" is a reference to Macbeth. "Dang" references Mary Poppins. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "I Give Up" and "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings" are fun and perky pop songs with angsty lyrics about relationship troubles. | |

Word Salad Lyrics | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_e18675e6 | comment |
Word Salad Lyrics: The verses of "Hit Me Where It Hurts," though they seem to describe a whirlwind vacation with a new lover when all put together, are pretty surreal and almost nonsensical on their own. "Dang" pushes these even further, with completely nonsensical verses and a chorus made up of babbling noises. | |

Surreal Music Video | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_ecf2949f | comment |
Surreal Music Video: The "Door" video moves the viewer through concentric portals between Caroline's legs that lead to Caroline singing in a world where the horizon is bent into a circle, before she takes out her phone, which we then travel into to discover an Escher-esque rollercoaster for marbles...actually, maybe you should just watch it yourself. "Welcome to My Island" has, among other things, Caroline ordering a coffee from Weyes Blood which she later vomits volcano-style, running through a construction site, fighting sperm, and taking a minotaur (who we see in first person) by its leg to the beach. | |

Sitting on the Roof | |
| Caroline Polachek (Music) / int_f8a4527f | comment |
Sitting on the Roof: At the beginning of the "Door" music video, Caroline is seen sitting atop a roof at night, staring out into the distance as she sings the song's solemn lyrics. | |
