Chelsea Wolfe, whose latest album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She “stretched gothic sounds and themes beyond the boundaries of genre” (New Yorker), announces the final chapter of the She Reaches Out triptych with a stripped down acoustic EP, Unbound, out now via Loma Vista, and shares a video for “Place In The Sun (Unbound).” It follows Undone, a remix EP that “[tapped] into the dancier side of the darkness.” (FADER). In line with Unbound, Wolfe will play these laid-bare songs in a selected set of US cities this December.
In Chelsea Wolfe’s She Reaches Out triptych, three voices echo across time, weaving through past, present, and future. Her music becomes a journey of transformation, evolving with each passage while staying deeply rooted in its origin. Together, these three works form a cohesive tapestry spun from threads of memory, moment, and possibility. At the centre stands She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, grounded in the present. Next is Undone, which reimagines the dark landscapes of She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, reshaping each track into something at once familiar and profoundly new by artists like ††† (Crosses), Boy Harsher, Full of Hell, and more. While disintegrated and reformed, the songs still carry the essence of where they began.
On Unbound, Wolfe strips down songs from She Reaches Out to their raw essence – just her voice, a guitar, or piano – capturing vulnerability and unfiltered truth. The music here is primal, like earth freshly turned. The music stands exposed, stripped and sky clad – each track a rite of passage, a descent into the heart. In this stark landscape, the cover of Spiritbox’s “Cellar Door” concludes the EP, fitting seamlessly into the triptych’s meditation on transformation and letting go.
Wolfe’s She Reaches Out triptych is a contemplation on the nature of change. It calls us to reach across time, to grasp the threads of what was and what could be, and to find strength in the act of becoming.
