Chloe Moriondo began work on her new album with Open Water on her mind. Time off from writing and touring after some challenging personal circumstances gave the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter space to reflect.
She poured all her oceanic energy into Oyster, releasing via Public Consumption / Fueled By Ramen. Led by the 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 New York Times – pulling from all her musical palettes. From earnest balladry to explosive hyperpop, from cathartic pop-punk to sparkling indie-pop, she crafts a sound all her own.
Delving into the depths of heartbreak, she catalogs the process of surfacing braver, wiser, and ready to dive back in.
