└────────┘
Crafting 'doom-drenched electric folk', Los Angeles' Chelsea Wolfe grew up
in Northern California with a father who had a country band and his own
home studio, so she was immersed in music at an early age and began
recording herself at age nine; by the time she was in fourth grade, she
knew she wanted to be a singer. However, it wasn't until 2009, when she
returned from a three-month tour with a performance artist friend in spaces
including old nuclear factories, that she began making music for others to
hear.
Wolfe recorded with her friends on a portable eight-track, the results of
which became her 2010 debut album, "The Grime And The Glow". Wolfe also
contributed a radically different version of the Strokes' "The Modern Age"
to a tribute to the band curated by Stereogum.com, and her song "Moses" was
used as the soundtrack to artist/director Richard Phillips' short film
Sasha Grey.
On "Hiss Spun", Wolfe goes even deeper, darker, and heavier with her music
than she did on "Abyss". To help her reach these depths, she assembled a
murderer's row of metal talent: In addition to longtime collaborator Ben
Chisholm and drummer Jess Gowrie, with whom she'd been in a band years
before, she recruited Converge's Kurt Ballou, Queens Of The Stone Age's
Troy Van Leeuwen, and Aaron Turner of Isis, Sumac, and Old Man Gloom.
Somehow, the heavier Wolfe's music gets, the more eloquence and nuance she
finds in its sheer volume. She wastes no time introducing "Hiss Spun"
crushing weight with "Spun", which sounds exactly like the 'heavy love' she
sings about. It's equally glorious and ominous, with something erotic and
all-consuming in its slowly swaying beat, beautifully sinister guitars, and
Wolfe's weightless soprano floating above it all.
Though she shares the spotlight gracefully - Van Leeuwen's guitar work
makes each of the album's first three songs a standout, while Turner's
growls add an extra doomy authenticity to "Vex" - as on Abyss, it's clear
that "Hiss Spun" is metal done her way. Wolfe incorporates a relentless
electronic pulse into the climate change lament "Offering", and strips
things down to little more than piano and her voice on "Welt". Ballou's
production leaves space for the full range of her unearthly vocals,
allowing her to reach epic highs and lows on songs such as "The Culling"
and "Twin Fawn", both of which offer some of the album's most tender
moments before unleashing their dark majesty.
The span of "Hiss Spun" sounds matches the ways Wolfe poetically expresses
love, betrayal, strength, and decay in personal and global terms. She
depicts a world hell-bent on destroying itself on "Particle Flux" and
"Static Hum", surrounding her imagery of war's victims and a planet on fire
with suffocating white noise. Though the stories on songs like "Two Spirit"
are smaller, the stakes are just as high, and when Wolfe sings 'my regret
will never consume me' on the apocalyptic finale "Scrape", it can't help
but feel like a victory.
Both fierce and fragile, "Hiss Spun" presents an artist in compelling
control of the entire scope of her expression.
