Caroline Polachek – “Billions”Caroline Polachek – “Billions”

It’s been a minute since Caroline Polachek released a solo single. Her last one was “Bunny Is A Rider” and it came out in July 2021. Since then, Polachek has guested on Charli XCX’s “New Shapes” with Christine And The Queens, hopped on Flume’s forthcoming album, did another guest spot on Murkage Dave’s track “Awful Things,” performed a few new songs in live settings, and inspired a TikTok dance. Now, Polachek is back with a brand-new psych-pop song called “Billions,” produced by Danny L Harle and featuring London’s Trinity Boys & Girls Choir. Along with the track is a music video co-directed by Polachek Matt Copson — watch it below.

“The overabundance of this world overwhelms me,” Polachek says of “Billions.” “Sometimes it seems like ultimate tragedy, the earth being pillaged and destroyed for it. Sometimes it seems pre-human, beyond morality, sublime. I don’t pick sides, I just live here, with you. How does it feel, being so rich?”

In related news, “Billions” will be part of a new 7″ single that also features a rework of Polachek’s collaboration with Oneohtrix Point Never, “Long Road Home.” The track was originally released as the lead single off of OPN’s 2020 album Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. You can pre-order that here.

Watch “Billions” below.

Here’s the “Long Road Home” rework:
