Minor 6th
Caroline Polachek sings a lot of wide melodic intervals, but she's especially well-distinguished by how often she sings the minor 6th, because it's so rare.
It doesn't appear on Chairlift's first album, but becomes increasingly common starting with 2019's Pang.

Connection
I was really inspired by that synth riff in that song "Betty Davis Eyes."
— Caroline Polachek, interview with genius.com, 2020
The verses in both songs alternate one-bar phrases between two voices, emphasizing the second eighth note in each measure.
