Dear Eloise () is a Chinese rock band composed of vocalist/producer Yang Haisong (杨海崧) and Sun Xia (孙霞).
Formed in Beijing in 2008, the pair are known for their lo-fi DIY recordings that combine elements of shoegaze, indie pop, noise rock and experimental music. In addition to playing all of the instruments themselves, the husband-wife duo record and edit all of the band's music in their home studio.
While they do not perform live and have released their recordings inconspicuously through the Beijing-based vinyl label Genjing RecordsAltered Zones | Dear Eloise: Castle | June 16, 2011 and CD label Maybe Mars, the duo has managed to gain a loyal following in both the Chinese independent music scene and with critics abroad.
Their seventh effort, Vanishing Winter, was released on April 6, 2013, on Genjing Records. An eighth release, a split with Australian alternative rock outfit Underground Lovers, was released in August 2013 with cooperation from the Melbourne-based record label Rubber Records.
