Neofolk singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe<\/a> has announced a new forthcoming album, Birth of Violence<\/em>, her first record since 2017\u2019s Hiss Spun<\/em>, out September 13th.<\/p>\n

The new album will see Wolfe stepping into \u201ca more folk leaning sound,\u201d according to a press statement, and her lead single and opener \u201cThe Mother Road,\u201d described as \u201ca harrowing ode to Route 66,\u201d certainly suggests so. Over a haunting strumming pattern of acoustic guitar, Wolfe compares herself to \u201ca spider in Chernobyl\u201d and repeats a morbid resignation: \u201cGuess I need someone to break me\/Guess I need someone to shake me up.\u201d Her new sound may be folksier than her earlier, heavy metal-inspired work, but it\u2019s no less goth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in a state of constant motion for the past eight years or so; touring, moving, playing new stages, exploring new places and meeting new people-an incredible time of learning and growing as a musician and performer,\u201d says Wolfe. \u201cBut after awhile, I was beginning to lose a part of myself. I needed to take some time away from the road to get my head straight, to learn to take better care of myself, and to write and record as much as I can while I have \u2018Mercury in my hands,\u2019 as a wise friend put it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wolfe will embark on a tour in support of Birth of Violence<\/em> this August, kicking off at The Cure\u2019s Daydream Festival in Pasadena, CA. The tour will continue with acoustic sets in dozens of North American cities before concluding in Vancouver, BC, on November 21st.<\/p>\n
