Description:Ramona Lisa ist das Pseudonym von Caroline Polachek â?? "Arcadia" ist Polacheks erste selbstproduzierte Soloplatte und die erste Veröffentlichung von Pannonica. "Arcadiaâ?? hat Caroline Polachek vollständig in MIDI komponiert und ein Konzeptalbum mit Liebesliedern, die Allegorien der Natur sind und umgekehrt, also etwas, das Polachek "Pastorale elektronische Musikâ?? nennt. Die Entstehung von Arcadia war ein einjähriger Prozess, der in einem leeren Studio in der Villa Medici in Rom und während einer Tournee mit ihrer Band Chairlift begann und endete. Die Aufnahme wurde komplett auf einem Laptop ohne Instrumente oder externe Mikrofone gemacht â?? alle Vocals wurden direkt in den Computer gesungen, wobei Hotelschränke, ruhige Flughafengates und leere Umkleidekabinen genutzt wurden. Obwohl das Album auf einem Laptop erstellt wurde, ist das Ergebnis eine üppige und unheimlich greifbare Welt aus warmen Texturen, die eher an analoge Bandprozesse als an eine Festplatte erinnert. Virtuelle Oboen und Orgeln verflechten sich mit synthetischen Insekten und zitternden Sinuswellen, belebt durch Polacheks Gesang in seiner bisher wahnsinnigsten und intimsten Form. -

Arcadia - Ramona Lisa / Arcadia is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter and producer Caroline Polachek, under the name Ramona Lisa.

Over the last year, Chairlift's Caroline Polachek was playing secret shows and debuting new material under increasingly inventive, singer-songwriterly pseudonyms such as Ramona Lisa, the name under which she's presented her solo debut, Arcadia. The album is a quiet curiosity, a quirky side project that's mostly a labor of love.

Arcadia was composed and recorded entirely on tour and on laptop with MIDI instruments, but the music's not too recognizably lo-fi or idiosyncratic, especially when compared to some of Chairlift's past work. There are reprises and recurring motifs that lend Arcadia a conceptual coherence, but Polachek's songwriting is as broad as it is pared-down. The record works in two modes: for more abstract material like «Hissing Pipes at Dawn (They're Playing Our Song)», which is, yes, a impressionistic sound-painting of hissing pipes at dawn, there are tracks like «Lady's Got Gills» and «Backwards and Upwards,» which resemble Chairlift album cuts that were allowed to melt around their chorus sections.

All Instruments Programmed in MIDI All Vocals Recorded Directly Into Inbuilt Laptop Microphone Birds, Insects, Water, Chains, and Steam Recorded with Zoom H1 Microphone The addition of the CD is advertised on the hype sticker and it is contained in a generic plastic wallet. The vinyl is housed in a matte black generic inner and the package also contains a 12" x 24" fold-out insert with lyrics on one side and a photograph on the other. The tracklist on the vinyl is slightly altered - Dominic and Arcadia Reprise are swapped around. The sides of the album are only indicated in the matrices and are instead referred to by an eye symbol (Side A) and a symbol of an insect, presumably a bee (Side B) on both the tracklist and labels. Tracklist is sequential on this release.
