Sir Chloe is an American indie rock band from Vermont. The group consists of Dana Foote, Teddy O'Mara, Palmer Foote, Emma Welch, and Austin Holmes.[1]

History

[edit]

Sir Chloe began in 2017, when lead singer Dana Foote was a senior at Bennington College. Foote studied music composition. Instead of writing a thesis, Foote opted to create a concert consisting only of original music, forming a band with her brother and close friends.[2] Sir Chloe gained widespread popularity when their song "Michelle" went viral on the video sharing application TikTok.[3] The band released their debut EP, Party Favors, in 2020.[4][5]

Sir Chloe released a cover of Lou Reed's "Femme Fatale" and a new version of "Michelle" in 2021.

In 2022, Sir Chloe released non-album singles "Company" and "Mercy".[6] [7] In 2023, they announced their debut studio album I Am The Dog and shared lead single "Hooves" on February 23, featuring writing and production contributions by John Congleton and Sarah Tudzin of Illuminati Hotties. I Am The Dog was released on May 19, 2023.[8] They toured with Beck and Phoenix during the following summer. [9]

Influences

Foote cites Balkan music as well as Cage the Elephant as inspirations for composing music.[3][4]
