CHLOE MORIONDO – BLOOD BUNNY

Description

Released on May 7, 2021, Blood Bunny marks the transformative moment when Chloe Moriondo shed the quiet ukulele-pop of their YouTube origins for the sharp, serrated edge of indie-rock and pop-punk. Released via Fueled By Ramen, the album is a vivid exploration of adolescent intensity, blending the sugary melodies of the mid-2000s with a modern, queer perspective on desire and frustration. The record is anchored by the thrashing energy of lead single “I Eat Boys,” a tongue-in-cheek feminist anthem inspired by the film Jennifer’s Body, and the driving, guitar-heavy “Bodybag,” which showcases Moriondo’s growth into a formidable songwriter. While tracks like “Rly Don’t Care” provide high-octane alternative energy, the album retains a touch of intimacy on softer moments like “Samantha,” ensuring the transition from “bedroom pop” to “studio rock” feels organic rather than forced. By pairing visceral, often gory lyrical imagery with undeniable pop hooks, Blood Bunny established Moriondo as a vital voice for a new generation of alt-pop fans, effectively bridging the gap between the vulnerability of a bedroom recording and the raw power of a full band.
