Dear Eloise (Chinese: 亲爱的艾洛伊丝; pinyin: Qīn'ài de ài luò yī sī) is a Chinese rock band composed of vocalist/producer Yang Haisong (杨海崧) and Sun Xia (孙霞).[1]

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[2] and have released their recordings inconspicuously through the Beijing-based vinyl label Genjing Records[3][4][5] and CD label Maybe Mars, the duo has managed to gain a loyal following in both the Chinese independent music scene[6] and with critics abroad.[7][8]

Their seventh effort, Vanishing Winter, was released on April 6, 2013 on Genjing Records.[9][10][11] 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.[12]
