Profile:

With the February release of her fourth solo album, the critically adored ‘Desire, I Want to Turn Into You’, Caroline Polachek announced herself as one of the most compelling singer-songwriters working today. Formerly one half of the indie-pop duo Chairlift, Polachek has worked with everyone from Blood Orange and Charli XCX to Grimes and Christine and the Queens, and opened for Dua Lipa and The 1975 on their recent tours. Described by The Guardian as “something like Gen Z’s Kate Bush”, her Clockenflap debut promises to be one of the festival’s highlights. Get your tickets now at www.ticketflap.com/clockenflapdec2023

被譽為美國當代另類流行教母，Caroline Polachek 自從2019年用本名推出一首〈Door〉後，就好似通咗靈咁，爆發出有如 Björk、Enya 與 Kate Bush 嗰種既獨立於潮流以外，又能牽動全世界目光嘅時尚魅力。

童年喺東京渡過，再喺紐約成為indie組合女主唱，又引來 Dua Lipa、A . G. Cook、Charli XCX 等人相邀合作，Polachek 逐步掌握到一套前衛而充滿藝術色彩嘅另類流行曲式；今年二月推出喺西西里火山山腳完成創作嘅全新大碟《Desire, I Want To Turn Into You》，被 Pitchfork  評為佢生涯最佳作品，無論係吉卜賽式結他、兒童合唱團、蘇格蘭風笛都可以順手拈來，至今依然係樂評綜合網站Metacritic年度大碟嘅強力候選之一。

去年開始回歸巡迴行列後，Polachek 嘅火山舞台喺世界各大音樂節發熱發亮，今個十二月，Clockenflap 將有幸同各位觀眾一睹呢位魔性女神風采。
