I've listened to a lot of Post Rock, Shoegaze, Doom and DSBM and this performance is still the most melancholic thing i've ever heard. Love this woman!
+April Blades You made another comment about the reverb as well. What exactly are you getting at? I like the heavy use of reverb, I think it really sets a mood that matches with everything else she has going on but on some of her albums there are songs without much vocal reverb. What do you think it'll add by taking it away? Do you think these songs would have sounded better dry or is this some passive-aggressive "real singers don't need so much reverb"?
ohthepeppers She is definitely a real singer. I personally like the vocal effects, but everyone has their personal taste. The reverb adds to the ambiance.
This is one of the best love performances I've ever heard. To think it's on a tiny mic and amp with no real sound people blows my mind. Just goes to show you how talented she truly is.
"Maw" Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? In the man Shattered teeth Underneath a Dripping tongue I've been waiting In this silence While you're sleeping Until you believe Where are you? Where are you? In the maw In a world so dirty Intoxicated A life of tears In the maw A world in a daze None can be trusted In the mouth of the beast I've been waiting In this silence While you're sleeping Until you believe I've been waiting In this silence I'm on fire I'm on fire
Like a never ending street lined with trees that are always shedding their leaves with a nice cool fall breeze. Didn’t mean to rhyme all that, but I suppose that’s where we’re at
"Iron Moon" A dead sun, a pale glow Upon the walls I feign to know We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life And we get sick but never die Become an echo Resounding "let go" My heart is a tomb My heart is an empty room I've given it away I never want to see it again I go to him in paths of dreams In bed awake with shadow beings They crawl inside and wait with me The creatures here become machines Walk with me to a place of trust Death will no longer silence us My heart is a tomb My heart is an empty room I've given it away I never want to see it again And all your words could save me But keep your love away from me In all the worlds decaying Is there place that's safe for us? My heart is a tomb My heart is an empty room I've given it away I've swallowed the iron moon Moon, moon
In 2021 still blown away. She absolutely could put a spell on anyone. Super powerful guitar skills. ! Her voice is pure savage .I never get bored of her music .
Chelsea is so Amazing... The way she has progressively embraced Doom, leaves me breathless!! I only want to hear her in a next Sunn O))) record!!! Greg, Stephen... Come on guys, you have to take this woman to the studio!!
I love the fact that Abyss is well-produced as in it has tons and tons of complex layers of effects pedals and textures, synths and whatnot yet Chelsea can play them songs live with just a guitar and a couple of amps. The sentiment is just as powerful as in the studio record. She is insanely awesome.
"Crazy Love" Crazy love, it’s not you I fear You let the devil in You hold him near Crazy love When did the war begin When will it end When will it end Crazy love [x4] And i don’t want to live without you I don’t want to live without you Crazy love, where is our home Look at the place we’re in The hell we left it in Can we forget ourselves Can we forgive Can we afford the years, my lovely friend Crazy love [x4] I don’t want to live without you I don’t want to live without you I don’t want to live without you
Never seen these songs in a solo live version, but I loved it. I adore the album, it simply is magnificent. I have to be careful sometimes though, because this CD does bring me to places I sometimes wish not to go. I have the tendency to sink into my melodramatic self and these songs make that trip a certainty.
Yeah. The songs are deep and spiritual..many times so much so that you wish not to go down that rabbit hole very far. You want to...but then you start trying to climb out before long.
I love listening to depressing music I always have and always will. It can definitely make you feel pretty low at times. Not talking about this in particular
This happens to me all the time musician really dictate my emotions. I love music that makes me feel strong emotion. My girl refers to this as a “shame spiral”
chelsea you don't deserve this cruel world, but the world needs you (or at least i need you, thank u so much for help me not to feel so strained and fragile)
Totally amazing performance. She is a true unique talent. Love Chelsea Wolfe and other dark masters of music like Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan, Portishead, HTDA, Tricky, Allflaws
If you like Chelsea Wolfe, check out King Woman for a doomier sound or Miserable for a shoegaze sound. Both bands have the same artist and convey agony and suffering in a similar manner. I love listening to Chelsea in a dark place.
Also if anyone is interested I think if you like Chelsea Wolfe you’d also enjoy Emma Ruth Rundle. She has a solo project, and two bands (Marriages and also The Nocturnes). Very similar vibes
Chelsea, obrigada por ser minha companheira dos meus momentos mais pesados, lidar com minha tristeza e crises é muito difícil, mas suas músicas me trazem conforto, me sinto acolhida pela melancolia.
This came on automatically after another of her albums and I thought these were studio versions for at least 10 minutes. Just a girl and her guitar. Unreal
Her performance is even better than the studio album, which is an extremely rare thing for singers. I have no words to describe how beautiful her voice is.
A bunch from me too. I saw her play at Heaven in London. As awesome as the show was, I couldn't define a single word of her lyrics, even though I was right by the sound desk. The volume was devastating. That was disappointing. This is just amazing. An inspired guitar tone too.
+Ocean Sage yeah it's heavenly with all that reverb. You can put that on any female voice as long as they're singing on pitch and it will sound "heavenly".
Haha, write the lyrics and compose the songs. You can't put "Any female voice" with some reverb and get the same magic. You disrespect the art. I know I'm jealous of her talent, I'm sure you are, too.
the most amazing and inspiring "american" musician of this century! I love her music! her voice has a beauty that will be in my mind until I die, and I hope to hear her in the next life if there is one:) thank you Chealsea, you are incredible!
Chelsea Wolfe is one oft the most important musicians, artists of our era. I love you Chelsea. Every song of you is so deep, so touching, so essential..about very important aspects, emotions of being, existence as a human. My english is not good enough to describe the power of your music. I am so thankfull that I have saw you in Hamburg-Germany. Come again to Germany or to Kurdistan please :))
As always, sublime from start to finish. What an incredibly talented, well-spoken individual and songwriter. P.S. the description is a lie, her whole board is there. Loop Station > Tuner > POG > DBA Apocalypse > DOD Boneshaker > Fuzzrocious Dark Drive > Disaster Transport SR > Supernatural Reverb > Digidelay A lot of the grit you are hearing is probably from the POG/ drivers. Not familiar with the amp.
wow, you got me. although it COULD BE a reflection of the spangly top of the fuzzrocious dark drive that's a really weird place to put that effect. There are actually a couple of changes since November '15 (which is when I last saw her board), e.g. no Boneshaker either. Quite the misstep on my part, sorry.
Loved Abyss in its powerful full band incarnation. But its very interesting to hear it in her older Unknown Rooms style. Her and Emma Ruth Rundle are very unique folk metal kind of artists.
yeah. she likes reverb. broad must have buckets of it cuz she throws it all over the place. her Nick Cave cover, I let love in, she basically beats you over the head with it. and I absolutely cannot live without it. May Spotify suffer 1000 bloody abortions for its absence!
+Joseph Vaughan +meleecritical I appreciate the responses but I was just commenting on much I enjoyed this. "Abyss" was the perfect name for her album and kind of sums up the feeling her music gives off . I know what reverb is haha but thanks
easily my favorite muscian. stumbled upon her a couple years back with apocalypse and fell in love. her songs still send shivers down my spine. even if I'm having a bad day I'll listen to her and think of the beauty in everything
I agreed with the last comment of comparison. Chelsea has learned to stand on her own and her sound is her sound, influenced or not, original. However yes I can see her carrying around a tarot pack all The time . If you’ve never seen an interview, it’s worth it. A more gentle human being there are few in this world. Tremendously beautiful and freshly self aware. She’s the Queen.
Maw brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, and especially this live performance. I don't know that I've found and artist that moves me emotionally more than Chelsea Wolfe, ethereal music. Sigur Ros has some songs and so does Envy, but none capture my heart quite like Chelsea can. For that I love her

She’s so underrated. Her music, her tone, her lyrics, her passion, it all gives my goosebumps goosebumps
I've listened to a lot of Post Rock, Shoegaze, Doom and DSBM and this performance is still the most melancholic thing i've ever heard. Love this woman!
🔥🖤🔥
In-effin-deed!! Ty for reaffirming this - she’s my fave, too.

05:42 Crazy Love
09:05 Iron Moon
i'm only discovering Chelsea today, 'Iron Moon' just put a dagger in my heart, that voice..
Intense. Her voice is incredible.
+ohthepeppers I'd like to hear how it would sound without all the reverb.

Check Emma Ruth Rundle, but you probably already are listening to hear ;)
Mesmerising
This is one of the best love performances I've ever heard. To think it's on a tiny mic and amp with no real sound people blows my mind. Just goes to show you how talented she truly is.
Always come back once a week here to listen to my favorite tiny desk concert, ever.
nothing makes me cry tears of joy, understanding, everything. i feel everything when i listen to this. thank you Chelsea.
Love the dark magic that drips off her fingers into the guitar. Her work is unique and amazing.
"Maw"
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
In the man
Shattered teeth
Underneath a
Dripping tongue
I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe
Where are you?
Where are you?
In the maw
In a world so dirty
Intoxicated
A life of tears
In the maw
A world in a daze
None can be trusted
In the mouth of the beast
I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe
I've been waiting
In this silence
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
love the way her voice soars over that crunchy guitar, gorgeous!
delay and reverb do that..
@@surreptitiouswritings and...? Still gorgeous.
the perfect description
She does it in such and enchanting way.
Wow Iron Moon...what a beautiful masterpiece...chills and warmth in all the right places
0:00 - Maw
5:43 - Crazy Love
9:06 - Iron Moon
I LOVE HER ♥
interesting. Daylight does not affect this vampire.
:))))
The DAYWALKER
She's lestat from queen of the damned if he was a chick.
I wonder if she knows Colin Robinson
Unfortunately it does for this one. 🧛🏼
everytime i hear her I image myself in a dark place and there is a nice breeze. And I feel alive and I can breathe even though it's dark
same
Like a never ending street lined with trees that are always shedding their leaves with a nice cool fall breeze. Didn’t mean to rhyme all that, but I suppose that’s where we’re at
what i love about chelsea is the pain that bleeds out of her eyes when every syllable is enunciated in every performance shes ever done.
That nuances she does with her voice and how it contrasts that heavy guitar.. just incredibble.
Chelsea Wolfe's voice is so hauntingly beautiful, and these sparse renditions showcase her voice so well. Simply amazing!
"Iron Moon"
A dead sun, a pale glow
Upon the walls I feign to know
We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life
And we get sick but never die
Become an echo
Resounding "let go"
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I've given it away
I never want to see it again
I go to him in paths of dreams
In bed awake with shadow beings
They crawl inside and wait with me
The creatures here become machines
Walk with me to a place of trust
Death will no longer silence us
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I've given it away
I never want to see it again
And all your words could save me
But keep your love away from me
In all the worlds decaying
Is there place that's safe for us?
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I've given it away
I've swallowed the iron moon
Moon, moon
In 2021 still blown away. She absolutely could put a spell on anyone. Super powerful guitar skills. ! Her voice is pure savage .I never get bored of her music .
Im so grateful i got to see her live.

Well said. Shows truly how much of an artist she is.
Quite a tale she weaves with these 3 songs together... Heart breaking.
"Crazy Love"
Crazy love, it’s not you I fear
You let the devil in
You hold him near
Crazy love
When did the war begin
When will it end
When will it end
Crazy love [x4]
And i don’t want to live without you
I don’t want to live without you
Crazy love, where is our home
Look at the place we’re in
The hell we left it in
Can we forget ourselves
Can we forgive
Can we afford the years, my lovely friend
Crazy love [x4]
I don’t want to live without you
I don’t want to live without you
I don’t want to live without you
brought to tears with this performance...she makes pain and suffering sound so beautiful and enchanting...
Yeah, she makes me teary eyed sometimes. Hits me right in the chest.

I have to be careful sometimes though, because this CD does bring me to places I sometimes wish not to go.

Fantastic voice , burn some incense and lay back on the sofa in the dark , close your eyes and digest this wonderful sound , totally chillin 👍
My favourite tiny desk concert. Always come back to it
See, back two years later
I was moved to tears by this performance
chelsea you don't deserve this cruel world, but the world needs you (or at least i need you, thank u so much for help me not to feel so strained and fragile)
Totally amazing performance. She is a true unique talent.
Love Chelsea Wolfe and other dark masters of music like
Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan, Portishead, HTDA, Tricky, Allflaws
Amazing LIVE artist, have seen her 5 times😯 live!
One of my favourite artists. Such a hauntingly beautiful voice. Chelsea never disappoints.
Incredible.
Truely is my man
Only discovered her about an hour ago and I'm already in London ....she's incredible
I remember when I saw her in London...it was like seing a goddess, she has an overwhelming sound also. It was something I will never forget.
If you like Chelsea Wolfe, check out King Woman for a doomier sound or Miserable for a shoegaze sound. Both bands have the same artist and convey agony and suffering in a similar manner. I love listening to Chelsea in a dark place.
This is great! Thank you!
Also if anyone is interested I think if you like Chelsea Wolfe you’d also enjoy Emma Ruth Rundle. She has a solo project, and two bands (Marriages and also The Nocturnes). Very similar vibes
I have all of these in my regular rotation except Miserable, which I'm planning to check out immediately. 😎
Love King Woman
Miserable is the side project of Kris Esferandi, the mastermind of King Woman!
"Abyss" is a fantastic album.. and this is really a great live performance.. Love your music..💘
Love this performance
Chelsea, obrigada por ser minha companheira dos meus momentos mais pesados, lidar com minha tristeza e crises é muito difícil, mas suas músicas me trazem conforto, me sinto acolhida pela melancolia.

Melts me every time I find my way back to this performance.
You make me feel inspired by the feelings that usually only destroy me .. thank you
I absolutely love the tone of her voice. Her music encompasses my soul
20,000 of these views are from me... I am obsessed with this.
Me too, fuck life.
Stella Südekum Embrace life, even through pain and suffering, center yourself and all will be okay. Just my opinion anyway😔
A bunch from me too. I saw her play at Heaven in London. As awesome as the show was, I couldn't define a single word of her lyrics, even though I was right by the sound desk. The volume was devastating. That was disappointing. This is just amazing. An inspired guitar tone too.
Only 20,000? Slacker.
we can tell by you spamming these comments.
The finest exponent of American gothika,,,a serious presence indeed,beautifully spellbinding,,,,
Love Chelsea. Her voice is always heavenly.
+Ocean Sage yeah it's heavenly with all that reverb. You can put that on any female voice as long as they're singing on pitch and it will sound "heavenly".

@@aprilblades2281 I’ve heard her voice without it and it still sounds incredible. Your point goes nowhere. 🙄
Her music, this performance in particular, has the power to take me in other places, it's like living bittersweet old memories again.... Breathtaking
Love her! I always find her live performances so captivating and gorgeous!
P.S.: “Crazy Love” tear my soul in so many pieces-
I love how shes been evolving, so dark, so powerfull. amazing.
The high notes at the end of Maw give me serious chills.So beautiful.
Wow. Love the use of the oedal to create a live drone note of her voice. Hope ms wolfe brings out a new album soon
It would be so slay if Tiny Desk had her back to do an acoustic set.
She is an entity no one can come close to. An actually wraith of the sadness of my heart
Great rapport and banter with the audience. And she still had time to squeeze in some songs too!
the most amazing and inspiring "american" musician of this century! I love her music! her voice has a beauty that will be in my mind until I die, and I hope to hear her in the next life if there is one:) thank you Chealsea, you are incredible!
💯Agree🤘
I think she has genuine wolf eyes in her head. Jesus Christ, those are piercing.
Tight performance through and through.
I KNEW she wasn't going to banter between songs
Her voice is so haunting and beautiful I think I am in love 😍
This is just straight up emotionally devastating.
Yup.
I'm so happy i just stumbled into this. love this chick, love her music. so stoked to be sitting listening to this. thank you NPR Tiny Desk Concerts!
She's so mysteriously dark and hypnotically cold, it's fucking amazing!!!!
she plays the guitar and sings so effortlessly
I Love it.... Perfectly....1thousend Hearts
Words can't describe how amazing she is. Was lucky enough to catch her with Ministry awhile ago and I've been hooked since.
I love her; I love her voice, how she pronounces words, her style, her presence. She is amazing ♥️
Chelsea Wolfe is one oft the most important musicians, artists of our era. I love you Chelsea.

We don't deserve this beauty.
Simply beautiful. In every way. Hope to hear Chelsea live again soon. 🎶🙌
God she is so amazing. What a phenomenal voice!! I've been jamming her hard lately. Glad to see this!
So enchanting
absolutly stunning. so happy I am alive today.
good god this is beautiful! such a hypnotizing voice.

haunting. seen her live several times & the sound is massive af.
Loved Abyss in its powerful full band incarnation. But its very interesting to hear it in her older Unknown Rooms style. Her and Emma Ruth Rundle are very unique folk metal kind of artists.
Very cool. The heavy tones and ethereal voice reminds me of bardo pond.
What’s bardo pond?
Her music hits us like a cloudy sky in a winter morning! Beautiful and shady!
RAWRGH Women are killing it man, and Chelsea is right there at the top of the heap. Rock n roll isn't dead, women are just taking over!
few people is ready for this
eye is ready
Chelsea is a dark goddess of music. I love her.
Chelsea is amazing. Simply amazing. I freaking love her and her music. This performance is awesome inspiring.
Emma Ruth Rundle and her sound so much alike! 😳
Love them both!
Beautiful and powerful, as always!
I love Chelsea Wolfe !!
howd she make a tiny desk sound so big
yeah. she likes reverb. broad must have buckets of it cuz she throws it all over the place.
her Nick Cave cover, I let love in, she basically beats you over the head with it. and I absolutely cannot live without it. May Spotify suffer 1000 bloody abortions for its absence!
REVERB, my friend.
+Joseph Vaughan +meleecritical I appreciate the responses but I was just commenting on much I enjoyed this. "Abyss" was the perfect name for her album and kind of sums up the feeling her music gives off . I know what reverb is haha but thanks
Lots of reverb
Beautiful performance, beautiful guitar.
This is maybe the most beautiful piece of recorded music I've heard in my lifetime.
easily my favorite muscian. stumbled upon her a couple years back with apocalypse and fell in love. her songs still send shivers down my spine. even if I'm having a bad day I'll listen to her and think of the beauty in everything
Amazing. Her vocals are the epitome of haunting. I could listen to this for days.
I agreed with the last comment of comparison. Chelsea has learned to stand on her own and her sound is her sound, influenced or not, original. However yes I can see her carrying around a tarot pack all The time . If you’ve never seen an interview, it’s worth it. A more gentle human being there are few in this world. Tremendously beautiful and freshly self aware. She’s the Queen.
For a better viewing experience, I lit my monitor on fire to watch this video.
Amen
what an awful thing to say.
amazing!
Maw brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, and especially this live performance. I don't know that I've found and artist that moves me emotionally more than Chelsea Wolfe, ethereal music. Sigur Ros has some songs and so does Envy, but none capture my heart quite like Chelsea can. For that I love her
It's amazing that she was inspired by Aaliyah and Fleetwood Mac and turned that into something totally unlikely and beautiful.
Singularity.
Such a breathtakingly beautiful energy, soul and sound.
