Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Desire, I Want to Turn Into You' is a critically acclaimed art-pop album that establishes Caroline Polachek's maximalist and experimental approach to the genre. Primarily produced with Danny L Harle, the record is noted for its eclectic sound, which fuses trip-hop, Spanish guitar, drum and bass, and even bagpipes, earning a Grammy nomination for its engineering. Polachek's acrobatic vocal performances and songwriting explore themes of intense, transformative longing with a tone that balances earnest romanticism with self-aware irony.
