Chelsea Wolfe Makes Her Return With New Album ‘She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She’ on Feb. 9, 2024
At long last, Chelsea Wolfe is returning with a brand new album, She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, set for release on February 9, 2024, through Lomas Vista (pre-order).
Horror fans would know Wolfe as she collaborated with Ti West on the score for X and created an original track for the credits.
To kickstart the hype, Wolfe has released a gloomy new music video for the track “Whispers in the Echo Chamber”, the lead single off the album.
“Wolfeʼs seventh studio album is a rebirth in process. Itʼs a powerfully cathartic statement about cutting ties and an important reminder that healing is cyclical, not a simple linear process,” hypes the release.
As Wolfe explains, “Itʼs a record about the past self reaching out to the present self reaching out to the future self to summon change, growth, and guidance. Itʼs a story of freeing yourself from situations and patterns that are holding you back in order to become self-empowered. Itʼs 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 swirling vocal textures of the song — run through Sitekʼs modular wall — are meant to reflect those persistent intuitive voices that start rising up within you when itʼs time to step out of the old and into the new. As Wolfe sings in the blistering track, sheʼs “twisting the old self into poetry” and “bathing in the blood of who [she] used to be.”
The “Whispers in the Echo Chamber” accompanying video was directed by George Gallardo Kattah and filmed in Colombia. Wolfe explains, “It 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 Iʼll take the first difficult steps.”
Here’s “Whispers in the Echo Chamber”…
It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
