  Being away from your significant other may feel like hell, but former Chairlift member Caroline Polachek takes the concept quite literally. In the video for her ethereal pop jam “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings,” Polachek tracks the days spent in her hell-scape, separated from her beloved, and dances awkwardly against the fiery backdrop as if she’s the fourth member of Haim. The imaginative visuals enhance her equally whimsical musical sensibilities on the track, which include auto-tuned vocals over the hilariously repeated line “Show me your banana.” The song’s title may initially comes across as pretty silly, but it captures that feeling of missing someone so dearly that the reminder of their existence is almost hurtful. “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” is a certifiable bop, and an indication that this next decade is all Polachek’s. —Clare Martin
