Caroline Polachek: Want, I Wish to Flip Into You [Perpetual Novice]
Want, I Wish to Flip Into You, Caroline Polachek’s follow-up to 2019’s Pang is her definitive assertion as a solo artist, including puckish particulars and far-flung musical cues—together with bagpipes on “Blood and Butter”—to her experimental pop. Her oddly addictive anthem “Bunny Is a Rider” options, as do many different post-Pang singles. On “Fly to You,” the previous Chairlift singer brings alongside Grimes and Dido for the experience; elsewhere, the sound palette calls to thoughts flamenco, trip-hop, and trance. The cumulative impact, writes Cat Zhang in her overview, is “like staring up at an enormous fresco, the element so beautiful you’ll be able to’t resolve the place to relaxation your eyes first.”
