When Chloe Moriondo began work on her new album, she was thinking about open water. Time off from writing and touring after some challenging personal circumstances had given the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter space to think, and she poured all her oceanic energy into oyster, out March 28th via Public Consumption/Fueled By Ramen. Led by contemplative single “shoreline” (“a bold and affecting turn” – Consequence) and the delightfully creepy “hate it,” the record was assembled with a close-knit team of cowriters and producers including Jonah Summerfield (Holly Humberstone, Tommy Lefroy), Chloe Kraemer (The Japanese House), AfterHrs, and more. oyster finds Moriondo – who has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and received praise from the likes of The New York Times – pulling from all her musical palettes, from earnest balladry to explosive hyperpop, from cathartic pop-punk to sparkling indie-pop, to craft a sound all her own. On oyster, she delves into the depths of heartbreak and catalogs the process of surfacing braver, wiser, and ready to dive back in.
