Chelsea Wolfe – Hiss Spun (Sargent House, 2017) 

Named after the historic downtown Los Angeles building in which its offices sit, Sargent House was set up by seasoned industry veteran Cathy Pellow as a sort-of record label/management company hybrid, and has become the launching-pad for some of the most interesting records in modern heavy music; from acts like The Armed and Mutoid Man to Russian Circles and Emma Ruth Rundle. The dark jewel in their crown, however, is surely Californian singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe. Produced by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballouand featuring Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and Isis frontman Aaron Turner, Ms. Wolfe’s breakthrough fifth LP Hiss Spun is a work of singular, haunting class.

Chelsea Wolfe remixed Divide and Dissolve’s song “Far From Ideal”. The track is released today on all digital platforms and is accompanied by a video directed by notable indigenous music video director Amber Beaton, who comments: 

“Chelsea Wolfe’s remix of the already gargantuan Divide and Dissolve track Far From Ideal was a dream to film a music video for. My main goal was to match the energy both artists brought but to also turn it into a love letter to indigenous women, particularly Māori women who are still feeling the effects of colonization and forced religion today. Our spirituality was made illegal and this video calls to summon back our own indigenous gods, many of whom were human like Hine Nui Te Po depicted in this film”. – Amber Beaton 

Chelsea Wolfe adds, “I’ve been a fan of Divide & Dissolve for a while, keeping their name on a running list in my head of bands I’d love to tour with. Over the pandemic, Takiaya and I became friends. She called me up one day and asked if I’d want to remix one of their new songs and the answer was a resounding yes. I felt drawn to the groove of Far From Ideal, and with Takiaya’s encouragement, I ended up singing over the remixed version of the music. I sent a note with the lyrics, explaining them a bit: that I envisioned Takiaya and Sylvie onstage as elemental forces that can’t be denied, empowering others with their music and presence, and their message to destroy white supremacy. “Scarlet threads” refers to biblical blood – “entire nations built & forged in cruelty” acknowledges the horrors of colonization, genocide, and forced Christianity on Indigenous peoples. The part after that is head held high, a “fuck you” to those who feel that there is any semblance of that being ok. I was overjoyed with the powerful video Amber Beaton created for this.” – Chelsea Wolfe

Chelsea Wolfe today shared her spine-chilling new single “Diana,” inspired by Wonder Woman in DC Comics’ “Dark Nights: Death Metal” comics, off the forthcoming Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack out digitally on June 18th via Loma Vista Recordings (physical LPs out July 16th) and executive produced by Tyler Bates (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Watchmen,” “John Wick”). 

“It has been such an honor and delight to be involved in this whole project, from contributing a song to the soundtrack, to voicing Wonder Woman for the DC Comics Sonic Metalverse episodes. I really love the story and artwork of this Dark Nights: Death Metal series, and felt really drawn to Diana’s part in the story – her strength and perspective,” says Wolfe. “There’s this moment in the first comic book issue where she meets with Wally West and he’s so drained from his travels and all he’s had to do. I picked up on this intimate energy between them that felt almost romantic, but more just like two old friends who have an understanding between them – a moment of comfort and respite amongst all the fighting and chaos. I ended up writing this song about that encounter. Working with Tyler Bates on ‘Diana’ was a great experience. He’s obviously so killer at creating music that feels like the soundtrack to your own movie, so between him and my co-producer Ben Chisholm there was this elevated sonic landscape surrounding the song that just brought it to a different level.”
