Singer, songwriter and producer Caroline Polachek has a diverse musical resumé that includes many genres. She’s best known, however as one third of dramatic synth-pop trio Chairlift. Their 2008 debut album Does You Inspire You received an extra promotional boost when the single Bruises appeared in an Apple commercial for the iPod nano. Following the band’s split in 2017, she wrote songs for the likes of Beyoncé, Solange, Travis Scott and Charli XCX.

In 2019, she released her first album, Pang, under her own name. It found her further exploring atmospheric electro-pop and became a blueprint (or an inspiration at least) for the current hyperpop scene. No word about a follow-up yet, but Polachek’s new single Bunny Is A Rider is out now. A smooth and confident track with an unmistakable Christine & The Queens vibe. The walking bass line is performed by co-producer Danny L Harle, whose baby daughter can be heard in the song as well.
