Chelsea Wolfe announces her Loma Vista Recordings debut, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She
Chelsea Wolfe has announced her seventh studio album, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, and shared the new single, "Whispers in the Echo Chamber".
Chelsea Wolfe’s seventh studio album is a rebirth in 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 freeing yourself from situations and patterns that are holding you back in order to become self-empowered. It’s an invitation to step into your authenticity.”
Following lead single, "Dusk", "Whispers in the Echo Chamber" ties together a number of elements Wolfe has explored in the past, rolling in dynamic waves between minimal synth and heavy, full-band moments.
The 'Whispers in the Echo Chamber' accompanying video was directed by Geoge Gallardo Kattah and filmed in Colombia. Wolfe explains, "This video feels like a love story between myself and my sleep paralysis entity, who, for the sake of this video, represents a calm inner voice cutting through mental chatter and anxiety to help guide me towards a more authentic path. From the inward to the outward, this entity shows me the expansiveness of new possibilities, if only I’ll take the first difficult steps."
Chelsea Wolfe wrote and workshopped She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She with her longtime collaborators, multi-instrumentalist Ben Chisholm, drummer Jess Gowrie, and guitarist Bryan Tulao, before bringing them to producer Dave Andrew Sitek in early 2022.
ogether, they deconstructed the compositions, pushing the songs to a point where they were then transformed and reborn. The pieces found their final focus with Shawn Everett (The War On Drugs, SZA, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) who mixed the album, extracting the fine details from the vocals and blending them into a world where heavy guitars dissolve into trip-hop breaks and hushed vocals soar, before going on for final mastering by renowned engineer Heba Kadry.
Next year, Wolfe will embark on a lengthy 2024 North American tour, bringing her acclaimed live performance to a slew of cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and beyond. The tour will close with a special show at London's Heaven on 21st April. Divide and Dissolve will support the entire tour.
These new singles mark Wolfe's first original music following her contributions to the score of 2022 A24 film X. In the previous year, she released the track "Diana", which features on Dark Nights: Death Metal soundtrack, and is inspired by Wonder Woman in the DC Comics series of the same name. She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She is the follow up her 2019 album, Birth of Violence.
