The enigmatic Chelsea Wolfe has announced details of a new album, ‘Hiss Spun’. Recorded at God City Studios by Converge guitarist, Kurt Ballou, ‘Hiss Spun’ will be released on September 22 via Sargent House.
The new record was produced by Coverge's Kurt Ballou and features additional guitar work by Queens of the Stone Age's Troy Van Leeuwen.
"I'm at odds with myself," Wolfe explains. "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."
Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age, Failure) and Aaron Turner (Old Man Gloom, SUMAC) both contribute to the record.
In support of the latest material, Wolfe has also announced an upcoming North American tour. It includes Canadian stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

Chelsea Wolfe has returned with her fourth full length album, Abyss, out August 7th 2015 on Sargent House, and you can hear / download the first single “Iron Moon” now. Originally premiered via Rolling Stone, who called it a, “haunting, doomy exercise in loud-quiet-loud dynamics” and her "darkest, heaviest and most personal album yet."
“Abyss is meant to have the feeling of when you’re dreaming, and you briefly wake up, but then fall back asleep into the same dream, diving quickly into your own subconscious,” says Wolfe.To conjure this in-between world, Wolfe continued her ongoing collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and co-writer Ben Chisholm and drummer Dylan Fujioka, with Ezra Buchla brought on board to play viola and Mike Sullivan (Russian Circles) enlisted to contribute guitar. The ensemble traveled to Dallas, TX to record with producer John Congleton (Swans, St. Vincent). In the back of her mind burned the words of designer Yohji Yamamoto: “Perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.” The resulting eleven songs reflect that philosophy as they smolder with human frailty, intimacy, quiet passion, anxiety, and deep longing.
