NEW SINGLE AND OFFICIAL VIDEO “HATE IT” OUT NOW
NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF APRIL 25 IN DETROIT, MI
Indie-pop darling Chloe Moriondo has announced new album oyster, out March 28th via Public Consumption/Atlantic Music Group. The news was shared exclusively by Billboard, who praised the 13-track album as “her best project to date.”
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 pulling from all her musical palettes, delving into the depths of heartbreak and cataloging the process of surfacing braver, wiser, and ready to dive back in. oyster is available for preorder now (album art/tracklisting below).
The news is heralded by new single “hate it,” a delightfully creepy track that considers the blurred lines between love, hate, and obsession. With her signature macabre humor, Moriondo muses about what it’d be like to wear a stranger’s face to bed, or to “slip it over my head and rob a bank.” The track arrives alongside an official video, which finds the 22 year-old giving into the darkness as she loses her humanity both figuratively and literally.
“‘hate it’ encapsulates all the feelings of jealousy, hatred, and obsession that can come with a crush on someone unattainable,” Moriondo explains, “or yearning for a life that feels unattainable.”
She continues, “I’m so fucking ecstatic for this album to be out. I’ve been yearning to release it since its conception and I’m bursting at the shell trying not to leak it all now. It’s full of vulnerability, frivolous crushes, despair, parties, and 17 billion tons of salt water. The world is my oyster, and soon it will be yours too!”
Co-written with and produced by Chloe Kraemer (The Japanese House), the wistful, pulsing “shoreline” arrived in January to critical praise, with Billboard celebrating the track’s “…effortless metaphor, simple production and … gorgeous vocal performance” and Consequence declaring, “‘shoreline’ is a bold and affecting turn from Moriondo, who seems to sharpen her songwriting with every release.” Clash praised the “radiant” track, while DIY hailed it“gentle electro-pop gem.”
In celebration of the album, Chloe will head out on “The Oyster Tour” a North American headline run kicking off this spring with a hometown show on April 25 at El Club in Detroit. The month-long trek will feature support from indie rock duo Sex Week and will hit major markets across the US and Canada, including LA’s Echoplex on May 9 and Bowery Ballroom in NYC on May 20 before wrapping up at Velvet Underground in Toronto on May 23 (full tour itinerary attached).
