Chelsea Wolfe draws inspiration from all things dark: from black metal to dark ambient and Scandinavian folk.
Her ethereal voice, experimental electronica and distortion effects on guitar result in ominous, unset-tling songs. On her latest album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She the singer makes a power-ful statement about personal growth and authenticity.
“It’s a record about the past self reaching out to the present self reaching out to the future self to summon change, growth, and guidance. It’s a story of setting yourself free from situations and patterns that are hold-ing you back, in order to become self-empowered. It’s an invitation to step into your authenticity”, she says.
She will present her album at AB on Thursday 27 June.
- ‘Abyss, the fifth album from industrial pop singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe, sounds more indebted to metal than any of her previous, folksy work. And Wolfe’s exploration of sleep paralysis is as delightfully intimate over distorted viola and droning keyboards as lightly strummed acoustic guitar.’ – The Guardian
- ‘The goth-folk shapeshifter explores a new dimension of her sound, bringing electronic atmospheres and industrial menace to an album about submitting to the unknown.’ – Pitchfork
- ‘Wolfe has crafted a record that manages to acknowledge where she’s been, celebrate where she is and point to where she’s going next all at the same time.’ – Distorted Sound
- ‘Chelsea Wolfe spirals out of the darkness within on stunning seventh album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She…’ - Kerrang
