![]() ![]() It is reminiscent of the films The Ringand Videodrome. The video for “ Hypnos” is Wolfe’s most haunting and symbolically rich visual representation of her work to date. The energy of the whole situation lent itself to raw emotions, feeling kind of broken down and giving everything I had to the songs.” I was living in a shitty hotel off the highway for a month in Dallas and spent my days at John Congleton’s studio working on the recordings. I sent it to my friend Steven, and he was like, 'Just release this version!’ I didn’t really want to redo it, either, but for this album, I made an effort to try and record things hi-fi while still keeping an intimate feeling. The ‘Hypnos’ demo was a sort of return to that style. “I think they’re just very intimate in how crude they are, and there’s a lot of one-take stuff there, too. “I started out in music years ago just recording my voice and guitar and life samples on my eight-track, and deep down, I still love the sound of those recordings the best,” Wolfe says. In writing new material, Wolfe revisited older methods of creating her music, which has been described as "drone-metal-art-folk.” This is the way that Wolfe comes to terms with her own struggles with sleep issues and dreams, sometimes manifested as sleep paralysis. It was written as a kind of ode, a love song, that Wolfe says is set in a dark dream. On April 1, Chelsea Wolfe released a seven-inch single for “Hypnos,“ a song that invokes the name of the Greek personification of sleep.
