On Sunday, August 6, Dandelioness will begin their summer tour at The Stakeout!

“A new poet, an old soul, and a bright light on the next horizon of music.” 

- Carrie Newcomer

The first thing you notice about Chloe Grace Caemmerer’s work as Dandelioness is her radioactive falsetto, followed by her exquisite and excruciating lyrics.

Chloe Grace spent the first half of her life in India, and the echoes of droning ragas from her upbringing in New Delhi meld with the Cascade Mountain birdsong of her birthplace to create a unique and hypnotic strain of folk pop.

Dandelionesses debut album cannibalizes the melancholia of Ovid, Milton, Shakespeare, Poe and Plath, charting the tumultuous journey of a first love torn in half by long distance. Flickering between mascara-stained visions of the underworld and an apocalyptic American West, the music from ‘Scorpio Ballads’ is both haunting and redemptive.

In her work as Dandelioness, Chloe Grace wholeheartedly embodies the solo singer songwriter trope, sitting cross-legged on her little island of reverb in a sea of noise. Does she dream up these dark, whimsical landscapes simply to console herself? How nice it is that, in the dusty fallout of our listening, we are also consoled.

Roo (eco-ambient) will kick off the evening, starting at 7:30p. Dandelioness to follow at 8:30p.
