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.

Eyes Like Nightshade
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
As equals, we meet
Time collapses
Silently, you turn to me
An outline, a silhouette
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like
Cleanse me, teach me
With your gentle resilience
As time slows, stay close to me
I am flying in my sleep
I am flying in my sleep
It's like lightning finds me
When you're around
Flashing curiously
Past the borders of the frame
Ink on the page
Eclipse me, reveal me
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like nightshade
Time collapses
Silently, you turn to me
An outline, a silhouette
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like
Cleanse me, teach me
With your gentle resilience
I am flying in my sleep
I am flying in my sleep
It's like lightning finds me
When you're around
Flashing curiously
Past the borders of the frame
Ink on the page
Eclipse me, reveal me
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like nightshade
Eyes like nightshade

@Ellier215
Reminds me of Radiohead.
@gstocker3097
I was a little worried but this record has some really great tracks; Eyes Like Nightshade, Salt, and Dusk are real standouts for me... Up there with the best of Chelsea's work I think.
@Wyndorel
Whispers in the Echo Chamber as well as Tunnel Lights (clips included) are truly masterpieces in my view but this song is such an hypnotic one as well. And Dusk is beautiful indeed. Not all songs stole my heart so far but this is definitely (another) majestic album. I wonder what kept you worried?
@ckf36
Absolutely fucking bizarre song. So sick
@CarloDainelli1971
