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, and 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, to craft a sound all her own. She delves into the depths of heartbreak and catalogs the process of surfacing braver, wiser, and ready to dive back in.
