Today, Chelsea Wolfe returns with her 1st cut from her new album, Unknown Rooms. "The Way We Used To" is
a haunting, minimal track - Wolfe's delicate call opens the song and
she builds upon that, layering vocals and repetitive percussion. The
track finds Wolfe abandoning the vocal effects used on previous albums
and breaking out on this new album, showing off her beautiful, yet
eerie vocals.
In
a way, Wolfe is on a journey to the surface of her own music. 2012
finds releasing her first acoustic emanation on Sargent House, titled Unknown Rooms: A Collection of Acoustic Songs.The
experience is a secret shared, a side of our heroine rarely seen or
heard, and the making was as intimate as it gets: recorded in the woods
of Northern California and at Wolfe's L.A. home, co-produced by her
bandmate Ben Chisholm, with players Ezra Buchla of Gowns (viola),
Andrea Calderón of Corima (violin) and Daniel Denton of Gothic Tropic
(bass).
ABOUT CHELSEA WOLFE
Northern
California native Chelsea Wolfe's sound is best described with broad
strokes: elemental, intense, radiant, ancient yet modern, intimate yet
expansive, dark and sparkling. Hues of black metal and deep blues
inform her ever-evolving electric folk- a warm force that wraps itself
around the listener, encouraging uplift, seeking triumph. Her voice
similarly haunts and soothes, with words that illuminate life's darker
corners in order to reveal the unlikely truth and beauty hidden within.
