“The Mother Road” on ‘6 Best New Songs Right Now’ // Revolver
Chelsea Wolfe – “The Mother Road”
Chelsea Wolfe‘s first single from her forthcoming album Birth of Violence, “The Mother Road,” is a return to her more folk-driven side, and a considerable departure from the electric onslaught found in her previous 2017 record Hiss Spun. Sounding like she’s been sequestered on a mountain top with nothing but books on witchcraft and a handful of Joni Mitchell records (reflecting her actual retreat into the woods to work on new material), the singer/songwriter flexes her emotional and musical growth on this gorgeous, introspective cut.
