Chelsea Wolfe Returns with New Album and 2024 Tour Dates
Today, “goth crooner” (New York Times) Chelsea Wolfe releases her final single, “Everything Turns Blue,” ahead of new album, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She on Loma Vista. “Everything Turns Blue” follows the previously released “Dusk,” “Whispers in the Echo Chamber,” and “Tunnel Lights.”
On “Everything Turns Blue,” Wolfe asks a question central to She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She: “What do I have to do to heal you out of me?” “I’ve been living without you here/and it’s alright/I’d been looking for a way out a long time/I’ve been living without you here and I can fight/I’ve been living softly my whole life,” she sings. Following the themes of the upcoming album, the production on “Everything Turns Blue” is deep, smoky, cavernous, and glitchy. Wolfe’s voice is raw, honest, and carries a weight with it, emanating the feeling of burnout and also healing. This slow-burn single is an anthem about “finding yourself again after a long era of being part of something toxic.” Wolfe elaborates, “Making a split with someone after 10 years, 20 years, 30 years — there’s going to be some high highs and low lows as you begin to process it all.” It’s a leap into the unknown. Watch the “Everything Turns Blue” visualizer here.
This leap into the unknown shouldn’t be surprising; Wolfe has never been afraid to experiment, traverse genre, or invent her own hybrids. If you return to her 2010 debut, The Grime and the Glow, amongst the room-tone atmospherics, punk drums, dark melody, and Wolfe’s commanding voice, you can already see the prototypical skeleton, a visionary scratchpad, for what would follow. On She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, there are references to shedding exoskeletons, to excommunication, and to permanent fissures. The liminal, the in-between, and the unseen are recurring characters. As Wolfe puts it, “like the dark moon, that void space can feel unpredictable and looming, but it also holds so much potential, mystery, and excitement.”
At its core, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She is realizing the way forward is through, contemplating what must be cut and left behind, while also figuring out what lies ahead and what there is to discover once you get there. Wolfe guides us on that quest, asking us these questions as she asks herself the same. As the title of the album hints, She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She is a reminder to look within, to remember that all the power you need resides there. Reach out to the selves, reach out to one other. Reach to the ancient and to the end of all things, to remember that the only time we truly have is now.
