You know when you sort of like an artist on the periphery? Like you’ve heard a song or two and like it just fine, but you wouldn’t necessarily call yourself a fan? Then suddenly for whatever reason they just click and you start consuming all their material? This performance was that “ok, I get it” moment for me with Caroline Polachek. This set was amazing and she and her whole band are really doing something here.

Great to have another session from Caroline. Personally, she is up there for me with other beautiful Ariel musical spirits like Julianna Barwick, Julia Holter, Alice Bowman and PJ Harvey and Bess Atwell. Whilst their styles might differ, I still believe there is a shared commonality in the fact that they create songs that are often haunting, floaty, spacey, transcendental and spiritual. Lovely.
