Chelsea Wolfe will release her sixth studio album, Hiss Spun, on September 22nd via Sargent House. In addition to the album announcement, she has released the first single, "16 Psyche." Check it out below.
Produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, Hiss Spun features guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age, Failure) as well as a guest appearance by Aaron Turner (Old Man Gloom, SUMAC) on the song "Vex."
"I'm at odds with myself. I got tired of trying to disappear," said Wolfe about the emotions and concept behind the record. "The record became very personal in that way. I wanted to open up more, but also create my own reality. I wanted to write some sort of escapist music; songs that were just about being in your body, and getting free. You're just bombarded with constant bad news, people getting fucked over and killed for shitty reasons or for no reason at all, and it seems like the world has been in tears for months, and then you remember it's been fucked for a long time, it's been fucked since the beginning. It's overwhelming and I have to write about it.
"The album is cyclical, like me and my moods. Cycles, obsession, spinning, centrifugal force — all with gut feelings as the center of the self. I got tired of trying to disappear. The record became very personal in that way. I wanted to open up more, but also create my own reality."
The album can be pre-ordered physically at this location or digitally here.
