[Jark]

second single, finally

Wednesday 9th

 

[RJN]

the cover looks like she’s holding a shofar

 

[GNL]

the cover looks like she’s holding a shofar

Shofar shogood.

 

[Penelope]

Bunny Is A Rider was exceptional so I'm very excited for this

 

[Pipo]

The queen is BACK!

with a hint of armpit hair(?) for the haters

 

[Jark]

Shofar shogood.

you're bad for this one.

 

[octophone]

I hope an album is due and it's not going to be one of those dribs and drabs eras.

 

[GNL]

It's out and it's DREAMY~

 

[GNL]

Sadly it's a cornucopia not a shofar

 

[GNL]

Oh my god I spoke too soon. SHOFAR CONFIRMED.

(Sorry for live-tweeting this Caroline Polachek song).

 

[RJN]

Dreamy is a good word for it. I was liking it more by the end. I like the b-side Long Road Home a lot, especially the violins.

 

[RJN]

I’m seeing her open for dua lipa on Saturday and I’m so excited

 

[Jark]

OK I really like Billions. the piano-y moment in the middle is gorgeous.

there's a second new track too, Long Road Home with OPN. think it's a cover although I don't know the original

 

[the pleasure principal]

 

[Jark]

wow. absolutely unreal video. the entire second verse leading up to the shot with the glass shelf the teacher scene with headscarf and rouge spotlight leading into the children's choir! FUCK!

 

[Jark]

you opened the DOOR
to another DOOR
to another DOOR
to another DOOR
to another DOOR
and I'm running through...

SURELY the best song EVER about a DOOR

*coos luxuriously for a whole minute on the outro over DIRTY SYNTHS*

 

[Jark]

this song is just fucking brilliant. a contender for her best. it's transcendent.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Gorgeous. Kind of like the Polachek equivalent to Hyperballad, especially being the second single from her second album.

I managed to snatch a signed vinyl too https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/caroline-polachek/billions

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is so fucking gorgeous. She is such a queen.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Flume have released a new track with vocals provided by Caroline

 

[Jark]

a bit rubbish, unfortunately

 

[Cerro de Casa]

OHh noes

 

[octophone]

Ach, she needs a few extra squid now she's had to bail on some of the Dua Lipa dates (fell down the steps of the tour bus and twisted her ankle or something similar). We'll let it go.

Still want an album and soon.
