Today, Sir Chloe—the project of vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Dana Foote—shares a new track, “Salivate”—listen here and watch the visualizer here. The track is taken from Sir Chloe’s debut album, I Am The Dog, slated for release May 19 via Atlantic Records— pre-order/pre-save it here. “Shame is the hot anvil that bends desire into dark and twisted shapes,” Foote says about the track.
Additionally, Sir Chloe will embark on I Am The Tour later this year, a run of headline dates in North America and Europe, as well as previously confirmed support for a coheadline tour with Phoenix and Beck, which will also feature support from Japanese Breakfast, Weyes Blood and Jenny Lewis—see full routing below and get tickets here.
The new song follows, “Hooves,” the lead single from I Am The Dog, which Ones To Watch praised as “a paradoxical romp that is all too addictive.”
Made with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton (Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) with songwriting contributions from Teddy Geiger (Caroline Polachek, Sylvan Esso, Lizzo) and Sarah Tudzin (Weyes Blood, Amen Dunes, Slowdive), I Am The Dog encapsulates the thrilling paradoxical nature of Sir Chloe. Thematically, the album grapples with finding control in the innate chaos of life, highlighting and interrogating this tension, only to destabilize it and opt for chaos once again. Anchored by Foote’s emotional and dynamic voice, the album toes the line between expression and concealment, making a fetish of the unsaid with lyrics that are simultaneously frank and ambiguous. With this constant push and pull propelling the album forward, Foote’s aim isn’t to be at rest but rather to ask why she cannot be.
Foote put Sir Chloe together in college to serve as her senior thesis, going on to write the band’s first major hits “Michelle”—which has accumulated more than 180 million streams on Spotify—and “Animal” on the floor of her dorm room. The rest of the songs on Sir Chloe’s 2020 EP Party Favors were recorded in a warehouse that the band transformed into a recording space with just $100 and sheer will. Following the success of the EP and two additional singles in 2022, the band—which consists of Foote, Emma Welch, Teddy O’Mara, Palmer Foote, and Austin Holmes—toured arenas with Portugal. The Man and alt-J, opened for the Pixies and headlined two tours of their own in the United States and Europe, with sold out stops in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Amsterdam and more.
