Staff Pick: Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She

What they say: With production from TV on the Radio founding member Dave Sitek, Wolfe zeroes in on the clearest message in her discography yet: surrender your heart to the unknown. Where most of Wolfe’s albums have shown anxious restraint, She Reaches Out yields to hair-in-the-wind havoc with distorted layers of guitar, drum pads, electronics, and piano, a more confident blend of Wolfe’s metal melancholy. - Pitchfork

What we say: A true genre hybrid for the times, the music of Chelsea Wolfe has absorbed, distorted and re-contextualized post-goth, electro-industrial, doom metal, modern neo-folk and indie songwriter forms into her own dark, maximal sound. With this newest album there's an understated suggestion of bluesy trip hop, as though Portishead's "Dummy" has found its way into the mix. Last month's show at The Neptune was a revelation!
