Chelsea Wolfe Announces "Unknown Rooms" Details + New Single

[press release] Today, Chelsea Wolfe returns with her 1st cut from her new album, Unknown Rooms. "The Way We Used To" is a haunting, minimal track - Wolfe's delicate call opens the song and she builds upon that, layering vocals and repetitive percussion. The track finds Wolfe abandoning the vocal effects used on previous albums and breaking out on this new album, showing off her beautiful, yet eerie vocals.

In a way, Wolfe is on a journey to the surface of her own music. 2012 finds releasing her first acoustic emanation on Sargent House, titled Unknown Rooms: A Collection of Acoustic Songs [due out October 16th, 2012]. The experience is a secret shared, a side of our heroine rarely seen or heard, and the making was as intimate as it gets: recorded in the woods of Northern California and at Wolfe's L.A. home, co-produced by her bandmate Ben Chisholm, with players Ezra Buchla of Gowns (viola), Andrea Calderón of Corima (violin) and Daniel Denton of Gothic Tropic (bass).

Northern California native Chelsea Wolfe's sound is best described with broad strokes: elemental, intense, radiant, ancient yet modern, intimate yet expansive, dark and sparkling. Hues of black metal and deep blues inform her ever-evolving electric folk- a warm force that wraps itself around the listener, encouraging uplift, seeking triumph. Her voice similarly haunts and soothes, with words that illuminate life's darker corners in order to reveal the unlikely truth and beauty hidden within.
