Album Review: Ramona Lisa - Arcadia

"Gaga might think she’s peddling art pop – this is undoubtedly the real deal"

More Ramona Lisa Ramona Lisa



Chairlift's Caroline Polachek dons the exotic mystique of her Ramona Lisa alter ego for the release of her first solo album. Reportedly created on the road with just a laptop, Polachek has created a heavenly, dreamy album of fluid, organic electronica with symphonic aspirations. It's against her pastel-coloured arrangements that Polachek drops her distinctive hazy out-of-focus vocals, which move from delicate melodies to multi-layered abstraction. Arcadia lets listeners daydream as they drift across Polachek's luscious ambiences. Gaga might think she's peddling art pop – this is undoubtedly the real deal.
