Caroline Polachek (formerly of Chairlift) is releasing a new album, Desire, I Want to Turn Into You, on February 14 via Perpetual Novice. Now she has shared the album’s newest single, “Blood and Butter,” as well as revealing the album’s tracklist. Polachek co-produced “Blood and Butter” with Danny L. Harle and the song features Scottish bagpipes by Brìghde Chaimbeul. Check out the song and tracklist below, followed by Polachek’s upcoming tour dates (including some newly added shows).

Previously she shared the album’s main single, “Welcome to My Island,” which was produced by Polachek alongside Dan Nigro, Dan Harle, and Jim-E Stack. It was shared back in December and was #2 on our Songs of the Week list. In December she also shared a music video for the song. In January she shared two remixes of “Welcome to My Island,” one by Charli XCX (who sings on the rework) and The 1975’s George Daniel, and another by UK dance trio PVA.

Desire, I Want to Turn Into You also features 2022 singles “Bunny is a Rider” and “Billions.”
