Dark folk artist Chelsea Wolfe has unveiled their new single “Tunnel Lights” today.

The new single comes with a music video directed by George Gallardo Kattah (The Plot In You, Tai Verdes), who said this about the visual:

“‘Tunnel Lights’ is a love letter to my country and my team. Being able to pull off something like this in this ecosystem required for many things to line up, both by chance and by hard work. In very simple terms, the video is a portrait of Chelsea looking and reaching out to herself.”

Wolfe said this about the new single/video:

“‘Tunnel Lights’ is about actually living instead of just ‘getting by.’ It’s about waking up to the fact that you’ve been languishing in the dark and it’s time to start taking steps towards the lights that’ll guide you out of the tunnel-cave.
The ‘Tunnel Lights’ video is a contemplative wander through possibility, grief, and wonder, represented by the carrying of a mysterious egg through the mystical landscapes of the Colombian páramo, inspired by the energy and flora of the mountains themselves. Starling murmurations act as both guide and coven as emotions become unfrozen.”

“Tunnel Lights” stems from Wolfe’s forthcoming studio album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, which will be released on February 9 via Loma Vista. Pre-orders for the album can be made here. This is the follow-up to Wolfe’s 2019 studio album Birth of Violence, which peaked at number five on the Independent Albums chart and number 10 on the Folk Albums chart.

Wolfe will promote their forthcoming album with a North American tour early next year with support from Divide and Dissolve. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
