Caroline Polachek is most known as the playful yet ethereal voice at the center of the indie pop group Chairlift. Her vocal stylings carry the hook driven sound of both Chairlift and her solo music quite prominently, often showcasing a smooth head voice technique as the core of her high range approach. This serves as an effective contrast to the darker tone of her low register, demonstrating a surprisingly wide range of vocal abilities for the indie pop world.
