NPR catches on to Chelsea Wolfe’s thrilling sound

Singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe will release her second album, entitled "Apokalypsis", on August 23rd, but NPR is giving fans the opportunity to stream the album before it officially hits stores. The 10-track album is filled with dark, dreamy themes that could serve as the soundtrack to an Alfred Hitchcock film, just as well as a peaceful and unalarming late-night drive. It is easy to describe Wolfe’s music as haunting, but underneath the obvious are tender and romantic moments. Originally from Sacramento, Wolfe released her debut album in 2010 and moved to Los Angeles later that year. Her move to the big city reinforced her majestic touch of intertwining heavy guitars with ethereal vocals and occasional tinkling percussion. Music fans who enjoy the mix of soft and enigmatic sounds of Zola Jesus, Fever Ray and Bat for Lashes will most likely dig this album. – Karla Hernández
