Caroline Polachek is a Brooklyn-based musician and songwriter known as the vocalist for Chairlift, as well as for writing Beyoncé's single "No Angel." She released her debut solo album, Arcadia, under her stage name Ramona Lisa in April 2014 via Terrible Records.
Polachek formed the band Chairlift together with Aaron Pfenning at the University of Colorado in October 2005. The group was joined by Patrick Wimberly in early 2007, the year the band released their first EP titled "Daylight Savings EP," followed by their debut album Does You Inspire You. Pfenning left the band in 2010 to pursue his solo career, titled Rewards. Polachek and Wimberly went on as a duo to write and produce their 2012 full-length record Something alongside producers Dan Carey and Alan Moulder. In addition, she directed the record's music videos, including "Amanaemonesia," and "I Belong In Your Arms."
In December 2016, Chairlift announced that they would be breaking up, with a final tour in the spring of 2017.
In 2010, Polachek formed an all girl project called Girl Crisis along with the members of Au Revoir Simone, Telepathe, Class Actress, Acrylics, Apache Beat, TEEN, This Frontier Needs Heroes, Amazing Baby and Lights(Knapp and Vedder). The group did two covers a year, one in summer and one in winter with a song that features female and male vocals, respectively. Among the covers were that of The Bangles, Black Sabbath, Nirvana and Ace of Base. They were shot via Super8 by Bek Andersen
