Why it matters: Sir Chloe, a rock and roll band, is preparing to release its debut album, I Am The Dog. The band is known for its electric live performances and is eager to share its music with more of the world.
What they are saying: In an interview with High Times, lead vocalist Dana Foote discussed her journey from visual arts to music, the inspiration behind Sir Chloe’s sound, and the role of cannabis in her music creation and day-to-day life.
The big picture: Sir Chloe’s upcoming album reflects the band’s evolution and broader musical inspirations, blending elements of shoegaze and synthesizer textures to create a more lush sound. While the band writes songs for themselves and with consumers in mind, they emphasize creating a cathartic and enjoyable experience for themselves and live audiences.
What to watch: Sir Chloe’s tour begins on May 18th, with I Am The Dog set to release on May 19th. As the band reaches more audiences and continues to evolve its sound, it will be interesting to see how they balance their creative impulses and the expectations of the music industry and fans.
My take: I appreciate Sir Chloe’s emphasis on creating a sound that feels good to play and listen to live, as well as their willingness to blend their personal inspirations with what the industry and consumers want. It will be exciting to see how their music resonates with audiences on their upcoming tour and beyond.
