(2019) Chelsea Wolfe - Birth of Violence
Review:
So much of Chelsea Wolfe‘s repertoire has been based on her voice filtered through layers of eerie distortion and swallowed in dense waves of instrumentation that the opening moments of Birth of Violence are almost startling. A brief smattering of atmospheric electronic wailing leads into her voice, stark and clear: “I took the mother road,” she sings, “down to goddess flesh.” As the song continues, cymbal fills and acoustic guitar lend minimalist accompaniment to her searing narrative of agony in love. “I do not have a child / But I’m old enough to know some pain / And I’m hell-bent on loving you / Women know what it’s like to endure.” Near the end of the song, the instrumental storm builds with percussion, violins, and a call to action Wolfe makes to herself: “Bloom and eclipse them / Wake up and transform,” she sings, over and over. The album’s captivating title track opens with stuttering, processed percussion. The echoing ambience behind her voice and guitar aptly stand as signs of her ability to meld the modern and the seemingly primordial, both in lyric (“Birth of violence / Sister of the road”) and in sound. There will be those who find Birth of Violence surprising for its tendency to smoke and smolder rather than to blaze. It builds on a foundation of solitude; we follow a lone Wolfe from mother road to highway with no distractions, and the journey is a rewarding one. Though it’s been years since Wolfe last delved this deeply into folk sounds, Birth of Violence moves unmistakably forward. “I cannot stop / I want to be all things,” croons Wolfe five tracks from the start, and why should she aim for anything less? Chelsea Wolfe’s creative versatility is on full and fearless display here once more, her music both invigorating and intoxicating on Birth of Violence.
