Just weeks away from releasing her latest album Birth Of Violence (Sargent House) dropping on September 13th, Chelsea Wolfe shares the new video for the single “Deranged For Rock & Roll.”
On the song, Wolfe tells us “Deranged for Rock & Roll” is “my love song to music. Every time I ever tried to walk a different path, music always called me back home to it. It’s in my blood; it’s my one source of true peace. I love its chaos and its rough edges, and I love the way it can bring understanding and comfort. I belong to music, and it to me. I feel Gilbert’s video illustrates that unnamed pull towards something so well. My character is destined to sing the same song over and over in this purgatory of a desert bar, while different people come through the town and begin to feel the pull as well, drawing them into this vortex to stay for good.”
Video director Gilbert Trejo (Pixies, DIIV) says “From the beginning, we knew this video took place outside of society. The melody invokes compulsion, a certain type of purgatory, the inability to just buckle down and fly the straight path. Everyone’s purgatory exists side by side, and we affect one another without ever knowing.”
Wolfe will be embarking on a major North American tour this fall, stripping back the live show to perform her new songs (and old) in a more intimate light. All dates are listed below.
