This is the Pitchfork Review. I'm Pooja Patel, the editor-in-chief.

And I'm the reviews director, Jeremy Larson.

Today we're talking about one of my favorite indie pop artists, Caroline Policek.

Her new album, Desire I Want to Turn Into You, has been teased over the past two years, and it's overflowing with emotion,

nostalgic 90s influences, and so much more. Here with us to dive into it all is Associate

Editor Kat Zeng. Hello, Kat. Hello. I feel like Caroline Polichick is like widely beloved amongst the staff,

especially amongst the quote unquote academic pop girlies of which I designate Cat One herself.

And that is for really good reason. She's had this insane career, right, Jeremy?

Yeah, I mean, she's been in and around the music

industry for the almost 20 years now. Yeah. And she formed chairlift, this indie pop band in the like mid-2000s.

And originally was a trio and then it became a duo. So mainly she worked with this producer Patrick Wembley.

And I think like in 2006, they moved to Brooklyn. And they were part of this like Brooklyn

scene of basically like indie rock bands like grizzly bear, dirty projectors and vampire

weekend and chairlift. They were all kind of, I don't know, it was just like a really interesting

time because bands could go from nobody to somebody because of an iPod commercial.

Totally.

Which is again like an interesting like time stamp of like Feist did that with one, two, three, four.

And then like a big thing happened with Cherliff when their song Bruises got picked up by an iPod commercial.

And then immediately after that they were signed at

Columbia.

I tried to do hands dance for you.

I tried to do head stands for you.
