The Grime and the Glow

Chelsea Wolfe

A murky, tape-saturated debut of ghost-folk. Acoustic guitars buried in hiss and reverb create a haunting, desolate world of beauty and terror.

December 28, 2010 · Sargent House

A desolate and beautiful exploration of isolation, wrapped in a thick layer of analog dust.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition into the distorted, rhythmic chanting on Cousins of the Antichrist.
The way the tape hiss becomes its own instrument during the sparse opening of Halfsleeper.
The unsettling, slowed-down interpretation of You Are My Sunshine that closes the record in a funeral crawl.
