Chelsea Joy Wolfe was born in Roseville, California, and grew up in Sacramento. She is of Norwegian and German descent. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio. By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, she had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs."
Inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things, she creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs. With influences ranging from the great minds of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch to Soviet and end-times literature, her songs conjure visions of other dimensions, claustrophobic echo-rooms and parking garage cathedrals.
Wolfe has recorded seven full length studio albums: The Grime and the Glow, which was released on December 28th, 2010 on limited vinyl through Brooklyn’s Pendu Sound Recordings; Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was released as a 12” LP on August 23rd, 2011; Unknown Rooms: a Collection of Acoustic Songs, which was released on October, 2012 through Sargent House; Pain Is Beauty, out September 3rd, 2013; Abyss, which was released August 7th, 2015; and Hiss Spun, out September 22nd, 2017; Birth of Violence[7i] which was released on September 13th, 2019.

Sublime disco, voz y sonidos. Las capas sonoras son infinitas a poco que se analiza este discazo.
Para mi gusto es el TOP de su discografía, sin duda alguna. Pero en directo es muchísimo mejor aún.
Ver como Chelsea exorciza todo lo que compone es una delicia, es pura magia. Esa alquimia ancestral hecha arte tradicional oculto que se hacía antaño y que nunca se dejó de hacer, a pesar de ser perseguido y señalado.
Sus conciertos so histórica o (b)scura invocación caminando por las sombras hacia la LUZ interior del alma para conectar con el universo infinito del que venimos, del que formamos parte y al que todos pertenecemos en donde el abismo, la nada, el todo, la luz y la oscuridad son en el fondo lo mismo.
Para mi gusto, es de las mejores artistas que transita y explora todos esos capítulos a través de ese fuego interior a modo de canciones. De las mejores que fusiona el folck con el postpunk, el doom, el dark ambient jazz, el avant garde, los coros a capela (de cantos tradicionales que distorsiona y estira hasta convertirlos en sonidos a través de capas sonoras) y la música clásica con la electrónica, las sinterizaciones y el rudismo sonoro (paisajismo sonoro e ingeniería sonora).
Se nota que Chelsea es docta porque su música es sabia, empírica, lúcida y despierta pero, al mismo tiempo nos demuestra que es un ser muy pequeño ante la inmensidad del universo infinito.
Ahonda y aborda temas hondos desde las profundidades del abismo para encontrar la LUZ en cada pieza.
"Nuevas respuestas que generan nuevas preguntas", como tan bien nos canta ¡¡¡Bravissima!!!
