Chelsea Wolfe

[Soma]

I was really surprised to not see a thread for her already :confused:

Chelsea's been one of my all-time favorites since I first discovered her, most likely here on ETS.

Also - here's a new song, tracklisting, artwork, etc for the upcoming album Abyss (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/chelsea-wolfe-details-new-album-streams-haunting-first-single-iron-moon-20150428)

[thefragile_jake]

Wasn't too big on Pain is Beauty but Apokalypsis is good stuff!

[Digital Twilight]

I can't wait for the new album. She's amazing live, if you get the chance to see her you must.

[Rdm]

Really ? You usually like the same things as me. I think you should check it out again

[Mutilated]

Pain Is Beauty is a stunning album, the album that definitely made me pay attention. Looking forward to Abyss.

[eversonpoe]

discovered her when i saw her play with Marriages and Russian Circles a couple years ago. absolutely fucking amazing. she opened with "movie screen" which started with her creating the haunting vocal loops, and lasted for about 10 minutes. i was hooked from then.

my friend isn't huge on pain is beauty (though we saw her together right after she started touring on it), but i love it even more than apokalypsis. so when the pre-orders went up yesterday for Abyss, i jumped right on it!

[virushopper]

I am still mixed on Chelsea, having seen her open for QOTSA two years ago I couldn't click with her. Live or studio, but that said "Iron Moon" is awesome!

[Camille]

Love her, can't wait for Abyss.

Music video coming soon.. so excited for this new album :D

[october_midnight]

Definitely going to see her again when she rolls back through town in September...her last show here was phenomenal.

[Camille]

New song - After The Fall https://soundcloud.com/sargent-house/chelsea-wolfe-after-the-fall

[virushopper]

Preview the new album: http://www.npr.org/2015/07/29/425892446/first-listen-chelsea-wolfe-abyss

It's great stuff.

[Camille]

Abyss is absolutely fucking stunning....I mean really!

[eversonpoe]

Abyss is absolutely fucking stunning....I mean really!

got a shipping notification last night so i am really excited to get that vinyl in my hands and listen to it!

[Al_Hunter]

Couldn't resist ordering Abyss, Apokalypsis, Pain is Beauty & The Grime & The Glow from her online store [I've wanted Apokalypsis for a while but saw it was the orange/ black and The Grime & The Glow was grey/ black so thought fuck it]. Looking forward to receiving that, along with the myriad other things en route to me!!

[caca]

I'm loving the new album. I just grabbed tickets to see her in September. Should be awesome.

[Rdm]

Really really enjoying this new album. Love the noise/dirty production, it sort of reminds me of the downward spiral. I bought my tickets for the San Fran show for next month.

[eversonpoe]

listened to it on vinyl yesterday (while my wife and i were playing Uno, strangely enough...didn't really fit the mood of us cracking up...) it was GORGEOUS. need to download the digital version and listen a few more times but i absolutely loved it.

[staleincense]

I'm hoping to be able to see her at Bristol in November!

[DF118]

Damn, Abyss is the best album I've heard in a long-ass time.

[eversonpoe]

Damn, Abyss is the best album I've heard in a long-ass time.

i have listened to it at least once every day since monday.

Definitely Chelsea's best work, yet. I get a Downward Spiral-vibe, also, which is awesome cause I've always felt TDS is really unique, sonically. John Congleton is a beast behind the boards, nowadays. Everything he's worked on over the past few years has been really exceptional. I would go so far to say he's like a new Flood. Can't wait for his new album with the Nighty Nite, also.

^ Thanks for posting that.

[nufan]

I caught the Bristol gig a couple of weeks back and thought she was awesome. I only have Abyss, looking for recommendations on the next album to get. Thanks!

work your way backwards. go with "pain is beauty" and then check out "apokalypsis" and "the grime and the glow"

also, "unknown rooms" is fantastic and would be a good listen at any point.

Thanks for the steer - I was looking at Apokalpsis, but makes sense to work backwards. Cheers!

[implanted_microchip]

I just stumbled upon Pain Is Beauty out of nowhere and am now going through The Grime and the Glow. How did I not know of this woman until now? This is incredible. Just, wow.

make sure you check out "unknown rooms" because it's so beautiful.

[RocketScience]

I saw her perform here in Stockholm back in November. On stage, she was something else completely. I can't describe it. Good god I love this woman.

[perceptionnexus]

I know, she's so amazing! I was just kind of a casual fan until I heard "abyss", and now I'm in love. I really hope she does another set of North American shows to promote the album, cause she played at a really small club in the twin cities late last summer and I totally missed out. I really want to hear these songs live.

[kel]

i don't know anything about this band, but they're playing treefort this year. tell me what to check out, i'm really curious.

edit: is it she? i have no idea, but i have a fest wristband and want to make it a point to be there. because you guys. they haven't announced venues yet for all five billion bands.

chelsea wolfe is a person. she is the main songwriter / guitar player / vocalist in the band that plays under her name.

check out "pain is beauty", her second most recent album, then "unknown rooms," her "acoustic" album, then "abyss", her newest album, and then "apokalypsis" / "the grime and the glow" her first two albums (in reverse order). that's my recommendation. a lot of her vocals on her newest album remind me quite a bit of tori amos, which is fantastic, especially in the framework of such dark and heavy music.

[virushopper]

New song with Troy from QOTSA:

^^ Mmm, I was hoping for something a bit more... "out there." Still, let's see what the album brings.

[hologram parade]

very excited for the new album! i got into her stuff though the acoustic album she put out, unknown rooms, but love all of her other work. i caught her live opening for qotsa and she was amazing to say the least! very sweet person who hooked me up after the show :)

Hiss Spun is great. Her discography is so strong and consistent, I'm amazed that someone who's committed to such a specific style and aesthetic has managed to get so much out of it for so long and remained fresh-feeling and genuine.

[cheddamash]

Just discovered her today, thanks to eversonpoe. Jesus fuck.

[Haysey_Draws]

This is a very solid album, Offering is ace!

[eversonpoe]

i feel like she just gets better and better with every release.

also, kraw liked my post of her new record on instagram (probably because he did the art direction). :D

[thenorthwood]

Never really got into her earlier stuff, but damn the new album is amazing! I especially love the last song on the album, Scrape. There is something very reminiscent of PJ Harvey (whom I love) when she sings like a banshee on that song. May see if I can catch a show next month.

[deepdeep]

I've been playing this album on repeat since it was released. She has specifically mentioned NIN as one of the inspirations for Hiss Spun during this album press cycle, I definitely hear it! So excited to see her on stage in October.

[cahernandez]

She did it again! I'd rank it above 'Abyss', which was my favorite album of hers. Got the clear & black smoke version vinyl, very nice to look at. Possibly album of the year material for me.

[thenorthwood]

I was pleasantly surprised to see a leather jacket and guitar from Chelsea Wolfe on display right inside the entrance of the Hard Rock in Las Vegas.

Will be seeing her for the first time in a few days.

[halo eighteen]

holy shit, that seems so quick after Hiss Spun!

[october_midnight]

No doubt, these days only 2yrs between LP's seems hella short lol. Got that preorder in, though didn't care for the shirt so just the vinyl. Hope there'll be more designs on tour.

[dlb]

Love the new song! While I actually prefer Emma Ruth Rundle and always had issues with Chelsea's stage persona this is a really good track. I enjoyed her show last year though as a full backing band really suits her and the energy all around in a live setting. Surprised but eagerly awaiting the record! Sargent House is a heavenly label!

[Archive_Reports]

I thought Hiss Spun was an absolute masterpiece but this track falls a little flat for me. Still excited to hear the rest of the album though.

[Come_Reptile]

Intriguing that she's going back to more acoustic. New song sounds beautiful. Got my pre-order in but gonna miss the show due to Sleater-Kinney the same night. Ioanna Gika's album is one my faves this year, glad to see her opening.

[Space Suicide]

Definitely getting this variant.

[cahernandez]

Don't know what you guys think, but this acoustic song is FAR better than Unknown Rooms. I don't go back to that record that often. This one seems so mature and very well executed, excited to hear the rest of the record.

[r_z]

Still haven't fully digested the last two albums (Abyss especially was/is fucking heavy).
New song sounds great!

[Soma]

Really looking forward to this! I have a lot of love for Unknown Rooms & the ballads throughout her discography. Flatlands & Halfsleeper are two of my all-time favorite songs. Very interested to hear the textures that are in store for us. Gonna try to snag one of those splatter vinyls when I get paid

[eversonpoe]

i actually LOVE unknown rooms but i have to be in a very particular mood to listen to it. i didn't think i was going to like it when i first put it on (at the time her latest album was pain is beauty) but i ended up really enamored with it.
Space Suicide i got that variant too! i'm a sucker for interestingly colored vinyl

I snoozed and lost so I pre-ordered the grey and red variant today.

[Graz]

Just dropped $172 on Chelsea Wolfe vinyl! The Grime and the Glow - grey/black smoke, Apokalypsis - translucent orange, Pain is Beauty - black, Abyss - clear, Hiss Spun - pale green & silver, Birth of Violence - red & black galaxy. She is so fucking awesome!

I should fill in what I'm missing. I need The Grime and Glow and the Acoustic Recordings.

All 5 records arrived with damaged corners, 2 have seam splits. No padding on the corners & minimal padding around the sides inside the shipping box. Hello Merch won’t offer exchanges or returns on items damaged during transit. Fuck you guys very much.

"Be All Things" is so stunning, oh my god.

[bobbie solo]

https://youtu.be/z9s11MlRWVM

This album's gonna be so good

[Come_Reptile]

Loving the distortion on "Deranged for Rock and Roll." My favorite of the singles so far, though the competition is tough. My album pre-order is already out for delivery today.

[Graz]

Birth of Violence is fucking fantastic! She always continues to amaze.

[halo eighteen]

Oh wow, the Detroit show this Friday is being moved to an insanely tiny venue in Hamtramck (aptly named Small's lol) - kinda sucks for what that probably means for ticket sales, but this is gonna be fucking stellar.

[dvdglss]

I <3 cw wish I could see her live in Nov when she’s here in ATL

[thenorthwood]

Chelsea’s new album is so crushingly beautiful. Delicate and haunting and melodic. Saw her last week and I could describe her performance with the same adjectives. Loved the stage setup too, Chelsea surrounded by a swath of white and lights. I liked Ionna Gika’s performance as well. I was already a fan of her former band IO Echo.

[virushopper]

[eversonpoe]

i love two minutes to late night so much. that's probably the best cover they've ever done.

Chelsea and her drummer Jess have started a new grunge side band Mrs. Piss and I am fuckin' digging it.

band name is fucking terrible, band's songs are fucking spectacular. One sounds like Chelsea Wolfe, one is more punk. Great stuff.

Seriously, whose buying their shirts with that name? Only edgelords and dead enders.

Boy that's an unfortunate band name... and an even more unfortunate album cover. Shame as the music sounds pretty good!

Give me the masterbating nun Over that.

[katara]

Even a urine yellow vinyl record. How embarrassing.

Might have actually bought this if it weren't for the entire presentation.

[halo eighteen]

I dunno, I'm picking up on the art is subversive vibe that they're going for here, and I think more power to them.

[richardp]

Quick question, if this were two dudes would y'all be as put off by the name and artwork?

I can't judge cause one of my favorite albums is the one Tim Heidecker did as the Yellow River Boys and is all about piss drinking.

[bobbie solo]

Yes, b/c Pissed Jeans actually are a pretty good band but i cannot listen to them or take them seriously bc their name disgusts me. The imagery in my head always grosses me out, part. cuz I always think of their singer shirtless and sweaty at the same time b/c that's he often was when they performed.

[katara]

Interesting how you choose to judge us in this way.

For me, the thought of their sexuality never even entered my head.

I'm more offended by your comment than by that album cover. Why did you even write that?

[richardp]

I'm more offended by your comment than by that album cover. Why did you even write that?

who said I was judging? There were multiple entries in a row of people openly complaining about the album cover and band name, and so I asked the simple question. Male musicians put out art even more graphic than a drawing of a woman pissing and I don’t ever see any complaints. Just simply asking if people would feel the same way if it was, say, a new Aaron Turner side project.

You seem to be the only one offended by this so I don’t know, guilty conscience?

[dlb]

There have been various instances in the past where the presentation of a band's record or even the band itself threw me off that much, that I ended up not buying the physical product. Doesn't matter who is behind this... as a big Rammstein fan I refuse to buy into their more profane stuff as well.

I enjoy this EP for what it probably is, a fun little piece for both of these women and I really do like some of these songs. It's kind of forgettable though, isn't it? And yeah, band name and presenation leaves alot to be desired... yet I can see where they are coming from, giving this an edgy 80s/early 90s DIY-aesthetic.

[katara]

You seem to be the only one offended by this so I don’t know, guilty conscience?
Wow.

By implication, your post paints everyone who commented on the album cover as hating it because they're women. Please read it again and tell us that isn't true.

Now you point the finger directly at me, which is not cool at all. I don't get this conflict and indirect name-calling. It's pointless.

lol all I'm saying is everyone else seems to have given a simple rational answer to a simple rational question, and you're the only one who is flying off of the handle over it.

The imagery in my head always grosses me out, part. cuz I always think of their singer shirtless and sweaty at the same time b/c that's he often was when they performed.

I've never even given Pissed Jeans the chance because of how off-putting their name is. Never heard a single song of theirs, even when they were in all of the music headlines, and I don't plan on it either. The name and art of a musical project is how the art is presented to the listener, and I'm just not interested in anything presented in this way. If you don't take your art seriously, why should I?

[katara]

lol all I'm saying is everyone else seems to have given a simple rational answer to a simple rational question, and you're the only one who is flying off of the handle over it.
To come into a thread for a female artist and accuse the fans of being misogynists isn't exactly the wisest course of action.

For that to be your first post in this particular topic is quite telling.

I may be reacting poorly to this situation, but I do not think I'm in the wrong here. The point of view you're bringing into this thread is abhorrently sexist.

You asked (paraphrased) "Would you be as put off by this if it were made by men?". I struggle to see anything rational there.

For that to be your first post in this particular topic is quite telling.

I may be reacting poorly to this situation, but I do not think I'm in the wrong here. The point of view you're bringing into this thread is abhorrently sexist.

You asked (paraphrased) "Would you be as put off by this if it were made by men?". I struggle to see anything rational there.

Found a moment to look this up.
From knowyourmeme: "Karen is a slang term used as an antagonistic female character in memes. "Karen" is generally characterized as an irritating, entitled woman"

So... now you use a meme derogatory against women in an attempt to insult me directly. Very mature of you. This doesn't do anything to help your case.

UGH! Shut the fuck up and enjoy the fucking music!

It's a difficult one. What you're asking me to do is give up the battle against sexism, which in itself is fairly problematic. Giving up here is allowing sexism to prevail and perpetuate. I can't stand by and watch that happen.

However, I will stop, simply because I get that this is both derailing the thread and annoying you. I apologise for that.

I will not apologise to richardp. I hope that one day you understand that what you've said (and are continuing to say) is deeply wrong.

The transition between Downer Surrounded By Uppers and Knelt pisses me off every time.
I think it's supposed to be seamless, but it's not (at least my copy I bought off of their bandcamp page isn't).

1. I wasn't directing that solely at you. 2. You are taking the Karen thing way too far... The male equivalent is a Kevin, so it's not like women are singled out. It's, for both genders, a person that is easily outraged and is quick to start fights. So, yes, you are acting that way. @richardp (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=139) isn't helping the situation, but your comments demonstrated a misunderstanding of everyone else's comments and turned it into something it never was. I'm sorry that you feel that anything and everything could be considered sexist, but consider that that could just be you reacting emotionally rather than taking the time to be responsive and learn exactly what the intention was. Stop pointing fingers, breathe, and seek to understand what people mean. Not everyone is trying to pick a fight. And @richardp (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=139)... Stop trolling.

YES! I initially listened on Bandcamp, then when I heard the gap I assumed it was the Bandcamp player, so I listened again on Spotify and the same issue happened. I'm hoping this was just an error and it doesn't sound like that by the time the physical media is released.

I left a query through bandcamp, but I doubt they'll respond. I also tried Sargent House, still waiting for their reply.
Hope it gets fixed soon, or get confirmation that it was intentional (which'll piss me off even more, lol).
You can't really make it work even when you edit out the gap and make them seamless, because there's a subtle difference in tone.

[wight rabbit]

Oh, really? I was hoping to do that when I finally got around to owning the digital copy (I have had to hold off due to limited income, but I intend to purchase the vinyl and Sargent House confirmed via Instagram that it would include a digital download card for use on Bandcamp).

[wight rabbit]

So, I got my vinyl today and redeemed my digital copy. I'm not sure if you got different files than I did, but I was able to seamlessly edit out the gap between Downer Surrounded by Uppers and Knelt in Ableton Live. I don't hear any difference in tone. It transitioned perfectly. I haven't listened to the vinyl yet to verify if that mistake is only on digital version or not, but I'll report back after I have.

Edit: Bummer, it's definitely on the vinyl as well.

[october_midnight]

Good stuff.

Good stuff.

it is but i don't understand how they can justify charging $2 for a 4-minute single on bandcamp. like just make it $1, c'mon.

[wight rabbit]

$1 for Chelsea, $1 for Emma. :D

[Space Suicide]

Really awesome song drop there! I’d buy a collab album.

[burnmotherfucker!]

This is from the same album as the new Health/Chino track.

I was not into her recent Mrs. Piss project but I really like her solo stuff. And she's been quite productive during the pandemic.
She hits hard live, heavier than I expected. Recommended.

Last time I saw her was a mid-July summer indoor show in the nasty, sticky European heat, and it was probably 125 Fahrenheit in that club. People were dropping like flies. She told the promoters to fuck off and that she'd leave stage right now if they would not open up the venue doors - they did not want to initially due to nighttime noise restrictions or whatever.
You should have seen how quickly those doors and windows were opened..

i saw her when she was touring on Apokalypsis and she OPENED with movie screen. it was fucking breathtaking. and then i saw her touring on pain is beauty, which was also fantastic. haven't seen her since and i'm sad about it because yeah, she hits HARD live.

[cahernandez]

She has a couple of new acoustic songs, a left over from the Birth of Violence sessions and a Joni Mitchell cover, plus a 30 min documentary of the Birth of Violence tour, which reminds me to pick it up on vinyl (what an excellent album):

It only took me a year, but i finally bought the Birth of Violence vinyl! Went to a record store last week, and found it tucked away in the indie section, it was the only CW record they had (now I need to get Abyss vinyl, have it on CD, but it's one of the best records of any band). Listened to it yesterday with good headphones and it's AMAZING. Lots of soundscapes and details here and there. I want her to tour again so bad.

[Prick]

Damn there's a Chelsea Wolfe thread here? I discovered her on the Ministry tour supporting AmeriKKKant (dunno the name of it). My mom dragged me out to it at Bogarts in Cincinnati when I was, I dunno, 15? No earplugs, rail, never really listened to the band before that. Let's just say it was an experience. IMO, she totally stole the show, the entire time we were marveling st her vocals and the incredibly strong performance from the rest of the band.

[cahernandez]

Some kind of NIN spotting: flipping through the Birth of Violence booklet, I come to learn that Kraw did the art direction for that album. Prick, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard ‘Abyss’ but if you haven’t, go for it. I discovered CW (and that album) in a ‘Top 10 albums of the year’ list at the Fourth Eye (Tool) forum, the list called Abyss a “Downward Spiral successor” (or something to that effect, that line alone prompted me to check out the record) and here we are now.

[Prick]

I've listened to Abyss and Hiss Spun. She opened with Carrion flowers and blew me away. It was incredible, the bass was making my jeans rattle.

[thefragile_jake]

I haven't really been able to get into anything of hers since Apokalypsis.

Birth Of Violence is solid album with some memorable tracks.

Her recent collaboration with Converge was also great.

See I thought the collab album was kind of cheesy and a bit overdramatic. =/

birth of violence is the only thing she's put out that i haven't loved, so i'm glad this new song seems to be going in a different direction.

grabbed tickets for her chicago show. very excited since i haven't seen her since she was touring on Pain Is Beauty.

[Callahan]

Totally forgot about Chelsea Wolf - time to dig back into her stuff!

This Dusk song, it kind of sounds like a really slowed down version of Down in the Park by Gary Numan

[burnmotherfucker!]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one that felt that way. I've loved pretty much all of her releases. But that one felt like something she could just do in her sleep to me I guess. It wasn't bad, it just didn't have that something extra her other stuff has had to me. This new track sounds fresh, really digging the production on it too.

yeah and it wasn't even the more acoustic aspect of it because "unknown rooms" is my most listened-to album of hers, probably.

My thoughts exactly! Unknown Rooms is probably my favorite record of hers.

[Ruined]

My first time hearing of this artist. Damn, that latest track posted above is good. I look forward to digging into her back-catalogue.

If you dig this new track I'd recommend checking out Abyss. I think the production on that record is probably the best and also the closest to this new track in a good way. Maybe also check out Apokalypsis as it's also really heavy and a bit more raw, some great tracks on that one. I've also really thought The Grime and the Glow is a very solid and unique record. The production on it is much more lo-fi but the record really benefits from it and it's also a showcase of the type of songwriting she was capable of right from the jump. The track Halfsleeper, in particular, is just fucking transcendent. Somehow her harmonies find a way to be dark and disturbing while beautiful and dreamlike at the same time.

[cahernandez]

Yeah man that songs rips! I ordered the blue vinyl with the autographed poster and oracle deck from her website, really looking forward to this one.

[voidnz]

I ordered the Vinyl and CD from Loma Vista.

Both songs are great.

Whispers in the Echo Chamber give massive NIN Downward Spiral vibes - even The Perfect Drug a little.

Looks like a step away from the last album to something darker and more electronic.

[burnmotherfucker!]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTm1aClf-fg

New track is out, this is going to be another great record.

Also, can't help but notice the lyrics include both "I'm sanctified" and "the way is through."

[Deacon Blackfire]

Dusk was so great that I'm holding off on these other tracks until the album drops but I am very excited. Saw her at Irving Plaza on the Hiss Spun tour in 2017 and she was terrific so I'm stoked for the Bowery Ballroom show this March. As with others in this thread, the Birth of Violence acoustic stuff was not really my bag so I'm very jazzed about the direction this new material seems to be leaning.

Agreed! I just finished it, and there’s not a weak track to be found. “Salt” is my favorite on first listen. It sounds like Massive Attack.

[Santos L Halper]

Superb from beginning to end. I didn't really look at the track list before diving in today and loved Dusk as the closer.

[voidnz]

Amazing album. Start to finish perfection.
