Chelsea Wolfe is set to unveil her third studio album, Pain is Beauty.
A self-described love letter to nature, many of the album’s 12 tracks
veer in a decidedly more electronic direction than previous recordings,
whileat the same time capitalizing on Wolfe’s trademark penchant for
the morose and otherworldly. As she explains, the album “becomes an
exploration of ancestry, how the mythology, landscapes and traditions of
our ancestors affect our personalities today.” She continues, “Honesty
is what initially drew me to music, and I’ve been more honest and open
with myself than ever through these songs. There is peace in truth.
There is clarity in solitude. And there is power within simplicity and
focus. Love is not always easy. Tormented love is something I understand
more than society’s skewed idea of what love should be. Love is
indelible, severe, earnest, merciful. To push forward against the odds
is to make history”.
