Caroline Polachek Releases New Single 'Blood and Butter'

Caroline Polachek has shared another taste of her highly anticipated upcoming album with today's offering, "Blood And Butter." Co-produced by Polachek and Danny L. Harle, "Blood And Butter'' features Scottish bagpipes by BBC Award winner Brìghde Chaimbeul, a flex rarely seen in pop music that makes perfect sense in Polachek's pastoral landscape.

This stand out track showcases Polachek's lyrical brilliance set on top of a hymnal melody that crescendos into sonic bliss, illustrating further Polachek's ability to disrupt the usual pop tropes. The single arrives today ahead of her new album Desire, I Want To Turn Into You out February 14.

Desire, I Want To Turn Into You has already garnered strong press excitement from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, New York Times, Vogue, Fader, Vulture, Time, and many more. Her 2023 North American live dates for The Spiraling Tour will kick off Friday, April 14th in Philadelphia and make stops in Toronto, Los Angeles, Chicago and more before wrapping at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The tour has already sold out multiple dates including San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, and New York. Today, second shows were announced for San Francisco, Seattle and Portland. Tickets for the newly added shows will be available for purchase on Friday, February 3 at 10am PT. For more information check here.
