Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun

Hiss Spun is the fifth studio album by American singer songwriter Chelsea Wolfe, originally released in September 2017 via Sargent House.

While past albums operated on the intimacy of stripped-down folk music (The Grime and the Glow, Unknown Rooms), or the throbbing pulse of supplemental electronics (Pain Is Beauty, Abyss), Chelsea Wolfe's fifth studio album Hiss Spun wrings its exquisiteness out of a palette of groaning bass, pounding drums, and crunching distortion.

Recorded by Kurt Ballou (Converge), the album was conceived as an emotional purge, a means of coming to terms with the tumult of the outside world by exploring the complexities of one's inner unrest. "I'm at odds with myself," she 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."

Hiss Spun features contributions by Aaron Turner (Old Man Gloom, SUMAC) and Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age, Failure).

This double album 2LP record set is a limited edition 2024 reissue on cloudy red and clear coloured vinyl with an etching on Side D, housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves and a download, pressed in Europe via Sargent House.
