Sumner

Sumner are trailblazing a new sound from lutruwita / Tasmania, captivating national and international audiences with their emotionally resonant electronic music. The duo, comprised of Chloe Wilson and Jack McLaine, have amassed over 10 million streams and built a reputation for striking records and high-energy live performances. Fusing intricate, left-field production with sincere songwriting, Sumner bring a distinctive live-instrumentation sensibility to the electronic space. Chloe’s background as a drummer and Jack’s multi-instrumental approach shape a sound that is dynamic, human and deeply immersive. Rooted in the Tasmanian landscape, their music reflects isolation, intensity and beauty. Their breakout single Stranded, co-written and produced by PNAU, became one of triple j’s most-played tracks of 2021. Since then, Sumner have appeared at major festivals including Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival, supported artists such as Empire Of The Sun, DMA'S and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, released their EP Retrograde, and completed sold-out Australian shows and a UK & Ireland tour.
