On a warm summer night
when a light breeze weaves its way like a swimming ghost around bodies
walking through coastal thoroughfares, Chloe Day opens the door to her
secluded complex that sits no more than 100 yards from the ocean. Her
cocker spaniel jumps about in the evening calm as she leads me beyond
the courtyard into the airy confines of her home. She is barefoot and
dressed in red surfer girl shorts with a darker top to match. I sit down
on a large futon couch that rests up against a wall under windows opened
against the glow of streetlamps and nocturnal skies. After declining her
offer for a drink of various kinds, Chloe Day melds herself into a small
armchair and slides into an almost supine position. Her body knows the
chair and the chair knows her body.
Chloe Day is a recording artist with two discs released to date, 2004's
The Return Of and 2006's Pixie Runway. Pixie Runway has been
remixed and remastered for a new digital release on Apple's iTunes
Music Store where it is currently available. The sounds of Chloe Day are
at once eclectic and entirely commercial, embarking on an adventurous
trip of Rock, Pop, Electronica, Jazz, Trip-Hop, and acoustic Folk-Pop.
The songs are a surrealistic dreamscape that embody love, lust, fear,
loneliness, beginnings, endings, and a vintage scope of human dissolution.
Most recently having come off of a 14 city U.S. tour while in pre-production
for her next solo disc, Chloe Day sat down to talk about music, dangerous
experience, sexuality, and the darker side of ourselves. She reveals herself
as an artist who is comfortable with her own form, and yet not at home
with the deepest aspects of herself. Chloe Day is abstract, sensual, soft-spoken,
expressive, unsure, confident, deflective; a woman who obscures herself
behind sinuous evasions that are truly unveiled only by the songs she
writes and the music she performs. The visual interaction of Chloe Day
is marked by an unselfconscious sense of physicality. Seemingly endless
locks of long hair frame her face or recklessly spill down her shoulders
at will. Hips and legs adjust in her chair with a mind of their own. Eyes
alternately drop and direct themselves level to me like a pin that gently
edges up a shred of crinoline. And in the soft tone of her living room,
Chloe Day is on an emotionally desolate shoreline where the roar of crashing
waves drowns out the disconcerting notion of time. Chloe Day is also present
with the ephemeral sound of life and love that is just out of reach, but
surrounds all of us.
