With an ethereal touch, Caroline Polachek lures listeners into her pristine avant-pop world. The New York-born, Connecticut-raised singer/songwriter/producer first enchanted Brooklyn’s indie circuit as cofounder of Chairlift, which broke through with the 2008 electro earworm "Bruises" and released a trio of breezy, buoyant synth-pop albums. Even before the band’s split in 2017, Polachek began shaping her solo career, cowriting and coproducing ‎Beyoncé’s “No Angel” before releasing the dreamy, lo-fi Arcadia as Ramona Lisa in 2014 and the ambient Drawing the Target Around the Arrow as CEP in 2017. But she’d bring out her most playful pop moves on 2019’s adrenaline rush Pang—the first album under her real name—and alongside envelope-pushing peers like Charli XCX, Fischerspooner and Christine and the Queens.
