06. Chairlift Opens With Opera

Chairlift’s Caroline Polachek is a beacon of hidden talent. Last year, we learned of her acting range in the interactive, choose-your-own-adventure clip for “Met Before.” We also learned that she’s fluent in Japanese when Chairlift released an alternate-language version of “I Belong In Your Arms.” But instead of kicking off their Sunday set with one of those Something hits, they opened with synth static and Polachek blowing away everyone with a full operatic vocal glow. Bonus points for making a full sea-foam ensemble look super chic.
