Throughout the last five years, Caroline Polachek released music using stage names like CEP and Ramona Lisa. But she’s probably best-known as one half of the duo Chairlift, which disbanded in 2017. They put out four albums in 11 years’ time, and scored a surprise hit when their single Bruises was chosen as the soundtrack for an iPod commercial in the late ‘00s.

Door is the first song Polachek released under her full name. A song with a fascinating instrumentation and a vocal melody that sounds as if it were played on a synthesizer. According to a press release, it’s ‘the first taste of a forthcoming, larger solo project from [Polachek] to be released later this year’.
