Thank you SO much for covering Caroline! The production of your video is super handcrafted and intricate! I loved it! I understand why you didn’t cover Chairlift, Ramona Lisa, or CEP, but I’d LOVE to see like an extended version or b-side version of those projects! There’s so much hidden across time. Caroline also performed at Lightning Lipgloss Life in 2017 with the most of the pcmusic gang, some early versions of songs later released in Pang and some other that weren’t released in the end. By the way, did you listen to her work with Danny & Pawel Siwczak? They released a 4 song EP! During the p4n d3m1c, Caroline did a LOT of one time livestream covers for different events, but there was one in particular in zoom she DJed in and played an exclusive mashup remix of Hit Me Where it Hurts x Babycakes! And finally, a new song by felicita featuring her is coming out soon, which is not the song that was played by felicita in reflections forever. And she also has worked with twoshell in a song that was featured in a mixtape they put up in bandcamp (that they removed shortly after). As for the shout in LAMN, remember WTMI was created back in 2018 (and reworked for Desire) so it’s all the other way around! (Reused in LAMN). Again, the video is amazing! Thanks so much for doing this and sharing it in the discord server!
Oh also, Butterfly Net and Crude Drawing of an Angel also share a melody line! And Pretty in Possible and Smoke have a LOT of things in common (a melody, and her screaming “ELIZA” and “How does it feel being so rich?”
Thank you so much for this, I love the attention to detail and commitment that true fans go to with incredible artists like Caroline. I knew I would miss some things, but I was pretty happy with what I ended up covering. I didnt know Caroline performed at Lightning Lipgloss Life, I've struggled to find recordings of those older PC Music shows, and i'd not seen anyone talk about her performing at that show. I had heard the harpischord EP with Danny and Pawel, I just missed it in this vid lol, like how I missed La Vita Nuova lol (its in the description) I had no idea Welcome to my Island came first, then Look at me Now, thats cool to know, cant believe WTMI has been around THAT long! This is all such cool info you've given me, looks like I didnt know everything about Caroline after all!
Another cool thing that I hope gets an official release was when Oklou was touring with her on her Pang tour, her and Caroline sang an amazing cover of Teardrop by Massive attack. Highly recommend looking up recordings of the performance as it was a stunning performance as well. Was definitely a freak out moment for me when I saw it live as I imagine Teardrop was a gateway for me to appreciate music like Carolines.
I think I honestly prefer desire not having lyric videos. She's described this album as an album that's more visual, chaotic and anti narrative. I think it benefits from lacking an obvious emphasis on lyrics and structure because of that nature. Would have been cool to get visuals for every song tho, even if it were just short clips. Because the visuals and videos we did get were gorgeous, the photoshoot we got for this era's cover artworks for example is gorgeous.
thanks for this! she is making some of my favorite pop songs of late, and is a credit to her family and profession I would say! I personally think it’s good to talk (factually, neutrally) about peoples privileges alongside their art and accomplishments, if for no other reason than to tell the truth to artists (and aspiring artists) that their faves, artists that inspire them, might have a leg (or three) up on them, so they won’t feel like they’re crazy or lost or bad at art when they face how difficult it is to “make it” (to put it broadly) as an artist. counteracting that internalized doubt/discouragement is the literal least we can do to level the playing field.
i love her new album to death i just think personally PANG album is monumental. i feel like that era was so consistent and feels like she actually built this whole new world for herself but for her to show to others. her new album is fucking amazing but it feels like pang pt 2! all im saying is, dont ever feel on pang. shes the starter, the mother of everything in her journey. nice video!
the dedication is comemmorable! caroline is always worth it tho. thank you for taking us on such a fun trip down (for me) memory lane. i always love watching people breakdown caroline's career showing how far she's come. I'm extremely proud of her. thanks again for this wonderful video, and for spreading the polachek agenda. much love!
I rly love how the bridge in caroline shut up matches a riff in Door, and that sound Caroline makes in so hot you're hurting my feelings at the end of the bridge where she inhales and hits a note at the same time, which is the exact sound she made in Breathless
@@cultfigureclub1 yes!! love pang, at first it took me a minute to get over the sparseness in comparison to DIWTTIY but after that it really grew on me! my fav tracks are door, pang, and parachute
Caroline was one of the best things off Palaces, and I do have a soft spot for Flume. I know I Beleive is a dedication to Sophie but idk if she ever got to work with the late icon? They both orbited the same PC Music spaces, idk, but I do know Flume did, not just off his mixtape (that features a sick collab with JPEGMAFIA who I would dream would collab with Caroline - just one degree of separation!) but also Flume has credits on the Vince Staples track Yeah Right with Sophie (featuring a killer verse from Kendrick Lamar) How far Sophie's influence stretched in the short time she had on this earth is so fascinating to me, and I do notice a lot of people point out that I Beleive isn't a typical 'in memoriam' kinda song dedicated to someone's memory in a sombre of even celebratory way but particularly through the choruses, with those metallic/orchestral stabs, it's an exhibition of Sophie's influence, a piece of art crafted in her image I have a lot of feelings about that track
You should really make a video on Kelela's album Raven which was released a few days before Desire (in early-mid February 2023). Both are strong contenders for album of the year- for me at least 😂
it's rhe second video I watch reviewing her career and not even a single mention of her collabo in Togetherness by Fischerspooner.. I'm FREAKED out😅 coz I knew her there
Love this video! So hot you’re hurting my feelings was also written by Teddy Geiger, and seeing Caroline working with trans writers and artists is really beautiful.
I can't remember exactly but I either recorded it myself last year, or found it on reddit. Not sure but it would be up on reddit, or in the Caroline Polachek discord somewhere
For the final notes: The bridge(?) from Smoke also has the same melody as the beginning of Pretty In Possible. “When the fallout doesn’t phase me…”
🤯
she is fantastic! desire i want to turn into you is one of the best (art) pop records in years
I completely agree!
I would kill for a Caroline and Imogen collab! The ethereal vibes are immaculate

other interesting thing I noticed is that grimes's melody on fly to you, is the same melody the bagpipe plays in blood and butter
31:59
Very cool video!! Spent a really good time watching it!
Thanks for this! Comprehensive :) was hoping for more analysis than documentation, but nonetheless grateful to have watched x
Note taken, will do more analysis in my upcoming videos
She's definitely a unique artist! Loving her style and output! Great job on the video!
one more detail on Desire: a verse from Smoke share the same melody with Pretty in Possible
Damn yeah, it does

She helped me create my dream world. I need to meet her this year 🙏🏾😍🥺
my album of the year ❤❤ i just started listening to her when sunset came out, but i have never become so engrossed in an artist as fast
She's incredible, have you listened to Pang yet?
@@cultfigureclub1 yes!! love pang, at first it took me a minute to get over the sparseness in comparison to DIWTTIY but after that it really grew on me! my fav tracks are door, pang, and parachute
@ambientnymph Door is one of my favs too, along with Hit Me Where it Hurts.
Great video, thanks
She did do the cover art for the singles again for the last album
Amazingly researched video! Thank you!
Great video!!
Thank you so much!
The DC show of the tour with Ethel Cain was SOOOOOOOOOO good.

i cant find anything abt andrew wyatt working on shyhmf but apparently he did help compose hit me where it hurts :0
I found out about it on Genius.com, but I didn't know about him working on Hit Me Where it Hurts, tho
it's rhe second video I watch reviewing her career and not even a single mention of her collabo in Togetherness by Fischerspooner.. I'm FREAKED out😅 coz I knew her there
I had no idea about this song at all! Thank you for mentioning it! I will add it in to the description
@@cultfigureclub1 thank you for mentioning me 🙈🙈🙈 I really knew her there and was obsessed with her way of shouting the verses she sang on it😅
Are you headed to her Brisbane gig dates? I think it's gonna be a good night, very excited to see her.
Sad I didn't get to see her, had a gig on that same night, I was so excited to see her!
whats the intro song for this video
Caroline Polachek - Pang
Love this video! So hot you’re hurting my feelings was also written by Teddy Geiger, and seeing Caroline working with trans writers and artists is really beautiful.
Where did you find footage of the Coachella performance?
I can't remember exactly but I either recorded it myself last year, or found it on reddit. Not sure but it would be up on reddit, or in the Caroline Polachek discord somewhere
Okay where do I find 13:35?
Someone saved it and uploaded it to r/pcmusic: www.reddit.com/r/pcmusic/comments/i9n6yt/caroline_polachek_singing_superstar_over_idyll/
@@cultfigureclub1 Thank you so much
Commenting for the algorithm
Much appreciated!
big up PVA remix
That remix is sick!
IDL is pronounced "I D L." But "Idyll" is a separate two-syllable word.
You aren't wearing a suit behind the scenes??? Immersion ruined.
Excellent video, thank you
