Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping back from the massive, sludge-metal distortion of her previous release 'Hiss Spun', Wolfe returns to her acoustic, deeply atmospheric dark-folk roots. The album relies heavily on stark acoustic guitar, subtle electronic textures, and her soaring, reverb-drenched vocals. It is a haunting, intensely personal record written primarily in isolation at her Northern California home.
