Chelsea Wolfe and Jess Gowrie are Mrs. Piss

I think Chelsea Wolfe might be one of the more underrated songwriters out there these days, and this time out, she’s working with friend (and drummer) Jess Gowrie to build a new sound under Mrs. Piss. Immediately its riff heavy, howling at you before anything else even comes into play. Of course, Gowrie soon enters with her powerful drum work, allowing the vocals to alternate between softly spoken-word and spiritual scream. It’s this haunting hit hurdling towards your ears, and despite the fact that its much more of a rock song, it still feels like its 100% Wolfe. Really excited to see what these two come up with on their debut Self Surgery, out May 29th via Sargent House. You can catch another track HERE.

Chelsea Wolfe Announces New Album

Those of you expecting Chelsea Wolfe to keep releasing the same old album are going to be in for a shock when you give this new single a listen. Musically, it still has that darkness…drawing connections to her past work, but the accompanying band brings in something different. Crashing cymbals, walls of distortion and heavy riffs..it almost sounds like she’s channeling Deftness, but with her own haunting voice drifting through in a ghostly fashion. Her new album is titled Hiss Spun, and it’s always great to see her continue to push her music, so we accept nothing but further success. Sargent House will release the new album on September 22nd.

More From Chelsea Wolfe

Chelsea-WolfeThough I haven’t seen near as much coverage for Chelsea Wolfe as I remember in the past, count this guy as one who is labeling the soon to be released Abyss as one of this year’s gems.  Since I can’t legally share the entire album with you, the best I can do is post another one of the stellar tracks from the album “Grey Days”.  Once again we are treated to some heavy, darker pop music sure to get you excited for the new release (if you weren’t already).

Abyss is out August 7th on Sargent House.

Dark New Track From Chelsea Wolfe

Chelsea+WolfeI’ve always had an affinity for Chelsea Wolfe and the dark, brooding sort of pop music that she has created over the last several years.  The new song I’m sharing with you today, “Iron Man”, might just be one of my favorite pieces she’s ever put out.  It’s a song that’s all about the peaks and valleys, the noisy highs of guitar driven rock after you’re calmed with the lows and hushed vocals.  Truly powerful stuff and I suggest you have a listen.

Pick up new album Abyss on August 7th via Sargent House.

Slow Burner From Chelsea Wolfe

chelseaChelsea Wolfe is an artist who has always earned positive press and muchos de praise around these offices.  With that said, you can imagine that we were excited today to receive a new song from her called “The Waves Have Come”.  The song starts out fairly slow, and some may write it off, but wait around until about the 2 minute mark when this baby really takes off.  At that point, some nice drums kick in to take us towards an incredible rising action that somehow never comes down for me until the track wraps up after 8 beautiful minutes.

New album Pain is Beauty is due out September 3rd on Sargent House.

New Music From Fang Island

FangIslandFang Island is another one of those Brooklyn bands that can sometimes fall behind the shadow of their local brothers like MGMT or Yeasayer.  The sounds of Fang Island can sometimes resemble those bands, but we think they have a more hard rocking edge to their sound.  The band is about to release their debut self-titled LP due out Feb. 23rd on Sargent House.  Here’s the first single from that album called “Daisy”.
