Caroline Polachek was made for warm weather climates. After luring us into her “Sunset”, we’re now on another destination escape with “Welcome To My Island”, the latest single from her forthcoming sophomore solo effort, Desire, I Want To Turn Into You, due out appropriately next Valentine’s Day. Working alongside Olivia Rodrigo’s right-hand, Dan Nigro, as well as Danny L Harle, A. G. Cook, and Jim E-Stack, her sound here percolates millennium-era pop-rock, the euphoric ecstasy of her Chairlift past, and as always, a future only invented in her vision. “You gotta go somewhere where you can’t pretend / Forget the rules, forget your friends / Just you and your reflection / ‘Cause nothing’s gonna be the same again.” Bank on 2023 being her biggest year yet, and she’s ready for it…

Caroline Polachek’s Desire, I Want To Turn Into You will be released February 14th on Perpetual Novice.
