Chelsea Wolfe’s latest album, »She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She«, is a rebirth in process. It’s about how such a moment connects to our past, our present, and our future. It’s a powerfully cathartic statement about cutting ties, as well as an important reminder that healing is cyclical and circular, and not a simple linear process. As Wolfe explains, “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 holding you back, in order to become self-empowered. It’s an invitation to step into your authenticity.”

There is a core element to Chelsea Wolfe’s music – a kind of urgent spin on America’s desolation blues – that’s existed throughout the entirety of her career. It manifested in the lo-fi bedroom recording experiments of her debut album »The Grime And The Glow« (2010), the electrified dirges of »Apokalypsis« (2011) & »Hiss Spun« (2017), the electronic embellishments and distorted growl of »Pain Is Beauty« (2013) & »Abyss« (2015), and the reclusive reflections of her 2019 acoustic album »Birth Of Violence«.

At the center, there has always been Wolfe’s woeful longing and beguiling gravity, though the framework for compositions has continuously evolved. Wolfe’s latest recordings, »Dusk« and »Whispers In The Echo Chamber«, found her in the studio with producer Dave Sitek, creating her most forward-facing music to date for her new album »She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She«, released February 9, 2024 on Loma Vista Recordings.

At once dense and minimal, raw and opulent, intimate and expansive, the production cracks apart and then rebuilds – heavy rock guitars dissolve into trip-hop beats; the vocal delivery is both hushed and soaring, ethereal and grounded, and full of carefully articulated details.
