Caroline Polachek Desire, I Want To Turn Into You

Caroline Polachek – Desire, I Want To Turn Into You

Album of the year in OOR
“An album with so much to discover that you won’t get tired of listening to it for the time being, at least not until the annual list season,” we concluded prophetically at the beginning of this year. Desire, I Want To Turn Into You sounds in everything as a feat: the songs flow wonderfully into each other and the balance between pop perfection and urge to experiment is virtually flawless.” OOR

Album of the year in HUMO
“Caroline Polachek made the album of the year. A bagpipe. A children’s choir. A song by Dido. No, this is not about our wish list for Santa or our Spotify Wrapped, but a selection of what you can be found in ‘Desire, I Want to Turn Into You’ by Caroline Polachek. A contrary, extravagant record that messes with all the conventions of pop, from an artist who has not received enough recognition for a long time, but who is deservedly at the forefront of this year’s Christmas parade .” HUMO

“Her ever-gleaming vocals dance nimbly.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES “The pop singer dives headfirst into romance on her sprightly new song.” – PITCHFORK “Polachek sounds as unmoored as usual against this new and exciting soundscape of handclaps, energetically strummed Balearic guitars, and her own inimitable vocal talents” – FADER “Caroline Polachek‘s new song “Sunset” has a tropical groove about fearless love, with handclaps and warm guitars framing the singer’s lush vocals.” – SPIN “Caroline Polachek has been carving out a little alt-pop lane under her own name.” – STEREOGUM “Sunset” is a bewitching, escapist swerve that sets Polachek’s ethereal voice against a bright and breezy instrumental.” – PASTE. NME ★★★★ (4/5) “playful experimentalism and dazzling vocals” “Bold and brazen” Paste ★★★★★★★★ (8/10) “an impressive pop record” Clash Magazine ★★★★★★★★★ (9/10) “one of the most captivating records of the year”
