Good evening, The three-day weekend has ended, promises of a four-day stretch of hellscape await. But, not yet. I've compiled some singles and videos to check out, so give a look, hit up some links, and maybe buy some records. Enjoy your week and thanks for reading.  ______________________________________________________________________ Chelsea Wolfe & Emma Ruth Rundle:  "Anhedonia" (via Rarely Unable / Sargent House) Bandcamp —  https://chelseawolfe.bandcamp.com/track/anhedonia-feat-emma-ruth-rundle Website —  https://chelseawolfe.net Via Rarely Unable: Chelsea Wolfe has shared new video for her latest single, “ Anhedonia ” which features vocals and guitar by labelmate Emma Ruth Rundle. Wolfe joined efforts with stop motion editor and video producer Cressa Beer for a moving creation that reflects grief and loneliness, yet brings hope that with time and support, healing is possible. Cressa explains, “The core idea of the video came from an artist and mutu...

Wee wee and rock 'n' roll… Chelsea Wolfe and Jess Gowrie 's provocatively titled project Mrs. Piss  exudes the level of melancholic depth-rock that one would normally associate with Wolfe, though this reductive version of her presentation captivates as a shared entity. Two lyric videos have emerged as incentive to check out the upcoming new album from the band, Self-Surgery . The grinding and emotive "Downer Surrounded by Uppers," (which is a great song title), finds some commonality with yore-rockers like 7-Year Bitch and Babes In Toyland , slop-addled distortion and energy. It's a solid track.  By contrast, the weighted crawl of "Knelt," Wolfe's ethereal vocal melting into the track's seismic density, is patient and stern. I love the bridge. Disrupting a crowd-flattening stomp akin to early Swans , Wolfe/Gowrie break for a moment to inject some melody into the mire.  Right now, it looks like this project is solely digital. S...

Chelsea Wolfe 's despair is sublime. Inasmuch as it seems callous to luxuriate in one’s sorrow, it’s difficult to hear Wolfe’s vocal in “16 Psyche,” lead single from her upcoming new album, Hiss Spun , and not acknowledge that hers is an expression both powerful and breathtaking. While the added impact of the track’s solid bottom and viscous riffed melody intensifies its resolve, Wolfe brings a considerable amount of vulnerability to the dynamic, her phrases ethereally shrouded and delicate. It’s a thoughtful combination of sounds, aggression a vehicle that Wolfe adorns with something else entirely. This isn’t necessarily a new aspect of her sound: “Dragged Out” from her 2015 album, Abyss , worked similarly in a marriage of brawn and beauty that I found particularly engaging. Hiss Spun is scheduled to release on September 22nd via Sargent House. All release info, links, and tour dates were provided by Rarely Unable.  CHELSEA WOLFE ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM HISS SPUN , O...
