Sumner is an Australian electronic duo songwriter formed in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, in 2018.[1] The pair met by living in the small town of Launceston, and finding each other's music through mutual friends. They decided to link up to play a gig as ‘Sumner’. The name 'Sumner' originated from Chloe's middle name.[2] Their song "Stranded" received full rotation on triple j and made it into the Triple J Hottest 200, 2021. Chloe suffers from Epilepsy.[3][4]

The duo signed to Pnau's label 'Lab78' in 2021.[5][6] Sumner have recently supported Vera Blue, Montaigne, Slowly Slowly (band) and performed at Party In The Paddock Festival and Falls Festival.[7]

In August, Sumner featured on Holy Holy's single "Ready".[8]
