Chloe Herington

Chlöe Herington collects sounds and diagrams and has an obsession with smells and memories. Brought up on folk, classically trained, fled the orchestra to join a doom/disco band, ended up in an art gallery and likes prodding things to see what they sound and smell like. A member of bands such as Chrome Hoof, Knifeworld and Lindsay Cooper Songbook, and founder of sound-art/pop-folk trio, VÄLVĒ, Chlöe Herington is venturing further into solo action to explore new realms and test out weird ideas. Anything could happen.
“It seems then that with V Ä L V Ē, Chlöe Herington wants to create a lingering series of moments and movements that will sit differently with everyone who encounters them. These sounds aren’t designed to sit on top of memories or prop them up but rather they are precisely shaped to weave through the mind like blood through a capillary. A vital cog in the mechanics of many an ensemble over the years, Herington and company’s V Ä L V Ē is a complex machine that is now almost ready to crash into our lives. Best ready our senses then.” -Eoin Murphy (The Quietus)
