chloe moriondo - SUCKERPUNCH

“…Moriondo dials up the volume and chaos levels for her third record, and the resulting tracks are some of her most gripping to date.” – CONSEQUENCE

“On her new record, she flies full force into hyperpop, drum ‘n’ bass, and an exuberant electronic palette” – NYLON

“…relentlessly catchy” – THE NEW YORK TIMES

“…one of indie pop’s brightest rising stars” – TEEN VOGUE

Rising star Chloe Moriondo has unleashed new album SUCKERPUNCH. The 13-track collection is available now via Public Consumption/Fueled By Ramen. In celebration of the release, Moriondo has also shared an official music video for “Plastic Purse,” which is streaming now on Chloe’s official YouTube channel. The Willy-Wonka-meets-Lord-Of-The-Flies visual finds mad scientist Moriondo shrinking boys to fight for survival inside of her titular plastic purse.

SUCKERPUNCH was preceded by critically acclaimed singles “Cdbaby<3” and “Fruity.” The artist also appeared as DORK Magazine’s October cover star, which arrived alongside a five-star review of SUCKERPUNCH, praising the record as “bold and extravagant with a refreshing dose of silliness.” The drum-and-bass-inspired “Cdbaby<3” was celebrated by Teen Vogue, who touted, “…the thumping, hypnotic track perfectly showcases why Chloe is one of indie pop’s brightest rising stars.” Billboard raved, “Lots of modern pop artists aspire to evoke the highs of top-quality drum-and-bass, but Chloe Moriondo actually gets there,”while NYLON praised the “…delirious new drum ‘n’ bass jam.”

The sticky-sweet summer anthem “Fruity” racked up praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, Billboard, V Magazine, UPROXX, Alternative Press and more. The New York Times applauded the “relentless catchy” track as “an exhilarating pivot to hyperpop,” while Billboard exclaimed “Moriondo’s ready for you to get a sugar rush off this delectable pop track.” “It’s skittish, explosive, and enthused” raved UPROXX, while FLOOD Magazine crowned “Fruity” as “a sugar-rush anthem for the end of summer.” V Magazine attested, “…it’s time to unwrap the singer’s latest treat and take a bite—It’s going to be one sweet season.”

Working with producers/co-writers including Oscar Scheller (Rina Sawayama, PinkPantheress, Charli XCX), David Pramik (Machine Gun Kelly, Oliver Tree), and Teddy Geiger (Caroline Polachek, Olivia O’Brien), SUCKERPUNCH signals a new era for Moriondo and marks a bold leap forward from the understated indie-pop and jittery pop-punk of her 2021 offering, Blood Bunny.

Earlier this year, Moriondo was included in Billboard’s prestigious “21 Under 21” list and shared Blood Bunny Deluxe, which included her long-awaited single and video “Hell Hounds,” alternate and acoustic versions of album tracks – including a rendition of “I Eat Boys” featuring dodie – original voice memos, and a studio version of Chloe’s early pandemic ballad, “Living Virtually.” In April, Chloe shared the puppy luv EP, a collection of canine-themed songs. The five-track collection was heralded by the charming, breezy single “sammy,” and accompanied by an official music videostarring Moriondo’s own pet dog (the titular Sammy). UPROXX praised the “wholesome” track, while Billboard hailed it as “a pure bump of joy.” Consequence attested “sammy” is “adorable and heartwarming.”
