About Chloë March

Chloë March is a Singer/Songwriter, Composer, Producer and classically trained Pianist. She released her first album ‘Snowdrop’ in 2004 (‘A gorgeous voice… an air of melancholy, sophisticated songs…a trace of David Sylvian’s jazz-tinted sound… March’s singing is exceptional - ‘Snowdrop’ is a thing of beauty’ collected sounds)

Poetic, imagistic lyrics are at the centre of Chloë’s writing. She approaches her songs as films scored in miniature; unique sound-worlds instilled with her trademark harmonic shifts and beguiling melodic lines.

Chloë spent three years writing, recording and producing her water-inspired second album ‘Divining’ (released 2008). Slowly crafting a palette of sound of layered vocals, interlacing piano, found-sounds, driving beats, lush synths and masterful french horn playing from her sister Emma Bell, Chloë created a captivating, involving and distinctive album that a growing audience of listeners are falling in love with. ‘Divining’ features songs inspired by Anne Boleyn, Bernini, Keats, Botticelli’s ‘Primavera’ and Dodie Smith's 'I Capture the Castle' alongside reveries of soft rain, melting icy streams and the dark waters of love and loss.

‘A command of the keyboard reminiscent of Kate Bush, Tori Amos or Nina Simone… hear the three years of perfectionism….’ Tom Robinson BBC6
‘One woman band March crafts an ethereal song cycle based around water imagery, using the intricate minimalism of Steve Reich, layers of sparkling keyboards and her deep, sensual alto. Ms. March is a more pastoral Kate Bush. It's the sort of music that would accompany a movie version of Wuthering Heights (as directed by Peter Greenaway)’ the new gay
‘Wow, this is a beautiful record. March has a voice that blends perfectly with the lush arrangements and intricate piano’ collected sounds

The single ‘Written On Water’ from 'Divining' was featured on Tom Robinson’s Introducing show on BBC6 and tracks have received extensive airplay including regular plays on Dandelion Radio (London-based Independent station given the honour of continuing John Peel’s ‘Festive Fifty’). The U.S. website ‘Cutting Edge Voices’ interviewed Chloë about the process of making ‘Divining’ in 2009 – you can read that in-depth article here. Also released in 2008 was Chloë's Christmas Single 'Snow Kiss' which received considerable airplay and streaming including continuous streaming on Christmas Day on the U.S music streaming site Julians Flight

The EP ‘Garden On The Boulevard’ was digitally released late 2009. It continues Chloë’s attention to intricate detail, her fascination with imagery and for creating immersive soundworlds. These songs are inspired by boulevard cafés and old cameras, lost love and seductive glamour, the dawn chorus, mythical bees, ghosts in the garden, enchantment and transformation. ‘Etoile’ and ‘Marquisite’ have both had airplay on Dandelion Radio (‘Chloë on fine form again’ Mark Whitby)

In May 2008 Chloë was commissioned to compose a 40min orchestral/electronic soundtrack for the Dance-Theatre piece ‘realPolitik’ choreographed by Julie Hope and performed at the Michaelis Theatre, London. ‘Politik’ will soon join all other releases as a download and CD at bandcamp.

Chloë has also been a guest vocalist for other artists, including the Australian dreampop collective Glassacre and German electronica artist Jumpel.
