Coming in for a victory lap after releasing 2023’s highest-rated, most reviewed album, cultural force and pop innovator Caroline Polachek released the deluxe edition of her Grammy-nominated 2023 album 'Desire, I Want To Turn Into You: Everasking Edition' on February 14th, 2024, via Perpetual Novice / The Orchard. The Everasking Edition features a reworked version of one of the album’s most spellbinding tracks, “Butterfly Net” featuring Weyes Blood. Also included in the deluxe version of the album is the labyrinthine and feverishly rich “Dang” which took the internet by storm after her performance of it on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, becoming their most-viewed performance of 2023 and 2024. It also features two brand new songs "Meanwhile" and "Gambler's Prayer", a rework of the Default Genders song "Pharmacoma", and a gorgeous acoustic version of "I Believe" (her song in tribute to her friend Sophie). Co-producing many of the album’s tracks with artists like Danny L Harle, Polachek has delivered another installment of a body of work that showcases her range in artistry - dabbling in all the different elements of sonic bliss while transitioning seamlessly from track to track with Polachek’s signature range of vocals.
To say that the standard edition of Desire, I Want To Turn Into You took the world by storm would be an understatement. Aside from securing a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album - Non-Classical and a Brit Award nomination for Solo International Artist, her sophomore album has brought Polachek to be featured in NPR’s Tiny Desk Series, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, all while achieving 110 million streams worldwide and featuring on Vogue, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Fader, Consequence, I-D, Stereogum, The New York Times, Elle, and Variety’s Best of 2023 lists; placing #1 on year-end lists by publications such as Pitchfork, DIY, Exclaim, and DORK.
