Record is brand new and has never been played.

Ramona Lisa is the current side project alias of Chairlift's Caroline Polacheck. Over the past year she has been performing as Ramona Lisa in New York unannounced, incognito, with fully choreographed and costumed sets. Arcadia is Polachek's first self-produced solo album, an 11-track set which will be issued on Terrible Records. Completely composed in MIDI, Arcadia is a concept album of love songs that are nature allegories, and vice versa, which Polacheck calls "Pastoral Electronic Music." The making of Arcadia was a yearlong process that began and ended in an empty studio in Rome's Villa Medici and while on tour with her band, Chairlift. The record was made entirely on a laptop without instruments or external microphones - all vocals were sung directly into the computer, making use of hotel closets, quiet airport gates, and spare dressing rooms. Although the album was created on a laptop, the result is a lush and uncannily tangible world of warm textures, reminiscent of analog tape processes, rather than a hard drive. Virtual oboes and organs interweave with synthetic insects and quivering waves, animated by Polacheck's vocal at its most delirious and intimate yet.
