<\/div>\n

Caroline Polachek<\/a>, formerly of synthpop group Chairlift<\/a>, has announced a forthcoming solo album and shared two of its tracks, \u201cOcean of Tears\u201d and \u201cParachute.\u201d The album, Pang<\/em>, will be out in autumn.<\/p>\n

Pang<\/em> marks Polachek\u2019s second solo release since Chairlift announced their split in 2016, and the first under her own name. (She previously released Drawing the Target Around the Arrow<\/em>, under her initials CEP, in 2017, and before that released solo records under her stage name Ramona Lisa.) According to a press release, \u201cParachute\u201d and \u201cOcean of Tears\u201d were the first and last songs written for Pang<\/em>, respectively, and both were produced by Danny L Harle, a member of London\u2019s PC Music<\/a> label and a past collaborator with artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Tinashe and Panda Bear. Additional production on \u201cOcean of Tears\u201d was provided by Valley Girl and A.G. Cook, another PC Music producer and frequent Charli XCX collaborator.<\/p>\n

On \u201cParachute,\u201d Polachek stated, \u201cIt was an incredible moment, realizing that this melody we\u2019d written was unintentionally re-telling a dream I\u2019d been shaken by. I went home, re-drafted the words to fit, and came back to the studio at 1am to record the vocal the same day. And that\u2019s the take we kept. From that moment on, Dan and I knew we had a lot more work to do together.\u201d She adds, \u201c\u2018Parachute\u2019 is about the total trust that only comes with total emergency. Like a mayfly trying its wings for the first time over a large body of water full of hungry fish\u2026 and the wings work.\u201d<\/p>\n
