In December 2022, this artist released “Welcome To My Island” from the upcoming release.
“This song was a puzzle, it went through a million versions to arrive at maximum brat mode,” Polachek wrote. “To be the worthy soundtrack for an epic walk of shame, where you have mascara all over your face as the sun is coming up and you own the fucking world and haven’t yet discovered you’ve lost your house keys.”
In the same post, Polachek elaborated on the third chorus’ guitar solo, which she played for the track. The singer joked that she still can’t play the instrument, adding that “Welcome to My Island” is a song for “the headless angels.”
This track even references the 2023 album, with Polachek singing, “Desire (ha-ha-ha-ha) I wanna turn into you / Desire (ha-ha-ha-ha) I wanna turn into you / Blue, ooh (ha-ha-ha-ha) The ocean blue / Blue, ooh (ha-ha-ha-ha) / The ocean blue (ooh-ooh).”
Desire, I Want to Turn Into You premieres Feb. 14, 2023. Until then, already-released music by Polachek is available on most major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.
