Chairlift at Pitchfork Music Festival 2013
One of my favorite shows of
Pitchfork 2013
was the Brooklyn based synth duo
, comprised of
Caroline Polachek
and
Patrick Wimberly
.
I caught up with Caroline backstage just as she was about to go on, looking out of this world in a a pair of modified scrubs, a gorgeously creative dye job and geometric eye makeup.
How amazing is this outfit. I love the thin ribbons around Caroline's wrists. Perfect for dancing and reminiscent of something clinical like bandages (or maybe a straight jacket ;)
Caroline has the most beautiful ethereal voice. I heard her doing crazy warm ups backstage to be able to hit the notes on songs like
(listen below).
Caroline and Tom Hines directed this weird and beautiful video which consists of Caroline doing some stripped down modernist dance moves and at times hilarious hand gestures cut in with sweet drawings of Patrick Wimberly. Definitely worth a watch.
Also, the fabulous Devonte Hynes of
was on hand backstage.
Big thanks to my partner in crime
for taking the concert shots and this amazing photo of Dev and Caroline. Love you bunny.
