[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Caroline Polachek - PANG

People talk about autotune on this album because there are autotuned parts on the album. That's ok to admit; it doesn't detract from her talent. Autotune isn't a bash. She knows how to use it eloquently so to not sound so binary like T-Pain or something, but she still uses it quite frequently on her tracks. And, yes, I'm aware of her classically trained upbringing and people that call her "organic autotune" but she's talked about the use of effects before and NPR even wrote a piece on the album and talked about the use of autotune. Autotune shouldn't be used as a pejorative term. It's just effects that add layers to the music... same as basically any instrument or computer-generated effect... it **adds** to it.
