Chelsea Wolfe<\/a> has released her latest video for \u201cAmerican Darkness,\u201d a track from her forthcoming album Birth of Violence<\/em>, out September 13th.<\/p>\n

The moody, black-and-white clip, directed by Karlos Rene Ayala, features disparate people \u2013 mostly women \u2013 dancing and expressing themselves in solitude. Wolfe says the video was inspired by the Paul Thomas Anderson film Magnolia<\/em>, where in one montage the separated characters sing along to \u201cWise Up\u201d by Aimee Mann.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted our version to be explored through the lens of The Tarot,\u201d says Wolfe. \u201cI\u2019ve been reading tarot cards for myself for many years, and researching the symbolic expressions of the cards for this video made me want to dive even deeper. To represent that, I played both The Fool and The High Priestess cards in the video, to embody both the beginning of the journey, and the realization that the sacred knowledge I was seeking was inside me all along. We cast friends to play a few other tarot archetypes, and Karlos\u2019 idea was to bring the symbols and signifiers into the contemporary; deconstructed, and made everyday \u2013 \u2018the magical and the unexceptional.\u2019 I loved that.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, we really wanted to challenge the binary of the traditional tarot cards, and give them more diversity, which is something important that many cool artists and witches are doing,\u201d she continues. \u201cI\u2019m such a fan of Karlos Rene Ayala as a writer, director, documentarian and friend, and have looked forward to making a video with him for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolfe will be embarking on a North American tour later this year in support of Birth of Violence<\/em>, including a special performance with her band at The Cure\u2019s Daydream Festival in Pasadena.<\/p>\n
