@BurnTheNotice There are numerous excellent quality recordings of her vocals, including of course her own albums. What you probably mean is "unaffected" (without reverb, delay, chorus effects etc).
I saw her in Grand Rapids on that tour. I hung out with her before the show and she was very friendly…shy, but very friendly. I purchased a journal from her that she signed for me.
I do love Emma Ruth Rundle, her work with Thou was good but not as much my thing as her earlier stuff. "I wear the colours of Babylon" is such an interesting line, I have no idea what colours those are or why you'd wear them, but it sure sounds cool
@@Msterror95666 I've never heard the original. this is the first time I'm hearing her, or this song, and I'm in tears. This song is devastatingly beautiful. wow.
@@_thechampagneisburned2511 Sounds like one of those powerful moments that just happens sometimes. You're probably not prepared, here come the feels! Thanks for sharing
She actually just released an EP that includes these intimate versions of the first three songs here, as well as Liminal from She Reaches Out to… It’s incredible!
Seeing her with a full band is an incredible experience if you ever get the chance. Literally held her own on a bill with all metal bands last time I saw her.
@@RobertSloverlove when pretentious nobodies think their taste is better than everyone else’s. Her new album (which she is playing songs from here) is about her overcoming her alcoholism and facing generational traumas head on. If that’s “twilight soundtrack” music to you, then I think that says a lot more about you than anyone else, buddy.
I literally smiled immediately after hearing the first note of Flatlands. Old but Gold, always make me feel warm and like being hugged by someone I don't even know
Chelsea is so underrated. This was beautiful, and her new album "She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She" is definitely one of my favorites of the year.
@@marcus.stiglegger this isn't the best indicator of success or anything, but 435k monthly listeners on Spotify isn't exactly high.

People who write about music professionally might be fans, but not a tonne of more casual fans seem to be, on one app at least
I love the dark and lush wall-of-sound style that Chelsea Wolfe employs on most of her albums and at her live shows, but her songs are so beautiful and haunting when stripped down like this as well. Perfect tiny desk concert for this spooky season.
I don't think I have heard anyone put so much of their heart and inner feelings and turmoil into their work, lyrics and performance since Joni Mitchell wrote the Album 'Blue'. Thank you for letting us in, to listen too the whispers your personal echo chamber. Chelsea is truly an alchemist, turning such a basic and minimalist approach into something complex and precious. PS, I'm just having to play this for the third time in a row. The more times I watch/listen to this performance, the deeper and deeper it gets under the skin, to the heart, the mind and the soul. Well I really do have to rush for the bus now, I'll be back later... Peace ❤
One of my favorite album this year, just beautiful. Pleasantly surprised seeing her perform Flatlands.. teared up a bit ngl. Also that Place in the Sun rendition gave me full blown chills
Tiny Desk is truly a musical home for everyone, be they human or vampire! Blessed be the day Spotify recommended me Flatlands years ago. Been listening to this Lady ever since!
Never heard of her but by the end I sure was wishing it lasted a lot longer. 💙 The simplicity really allows her voice to shine. Happy Halloween 👻 Chelsea
Listening to Chelsea Wolfe for about 10 years now including a live show I was lucky to attend. Hard to believe it's been so long. Somehow the voice is the same but her style and consequently the emotions I experience from her songs have been so vastly different over the years.
Once again, a reminder that Chelsea Wolfe released one of the most essential albums of the year Also, that performance of Place in the Sun !!! Gorgeous
Sublime! What a fabulous & captivating performance. Thank you Chelsea Wolfe and NPR Tiny Desk for treating us all to this wonderous concert. Beautiful.
She was, they were, incredible on Monday in Manchester. This ice queen got quite emotional. It’s been a tough 12+ months and that set was pure therapy. What an incredibly gifted musician, poet/lyricist and vocalist. Thank you Chelsea and your awesome band mates. 🖤
The dark goddess who sings the Siren song , that doesn’t cast us on the rocks but draws every emotion from our being . Music should be Dark, pure, and fills us with Serenity !
So does my friend who's the front man of a band. But as soon as he steps on stage he's a different person. Such is the case with many performers I as I understand.
She is doing an acoustic set in Philly at the first Unitarian church tonight driving over 3 hours each way to hear her in a gorgeous church acoustic with candles and possible chance of a halfsleeper performance would be all the Christmas gifts I need.
How did Chelsea Wolfe become 40 years of age before I was introduced? I thoroughly enjoyed this performance, so simple, yet so many layers. Looking forward to delving further.
highly recommend Unknown Rooms and Birth of Violence. They’re both folksy like these renditions of these songs. Everything else ranges from electronic to doom metal to trip hop. She has an incredible amount of variety in her discography
her presence is so calm yet commanding; her voice absolutely riveting. the production on the album was really masterful and I appreciate Chelsea providing more stripped back versions of the tracks as a companion.
wow - just mindblowing. at this point you are such an awesome performer its almost scary. This tiny desk concert will be in my playlist forever - as all your other youtube video. 🖤
I can't believe there's another Chelsea Wolfe tiny desk! I have a few artists that I go back to continually and Chelsea is one of them, partially because of watching her play live before she had a first album, going out of my way to purchase her first album on mp3 (which I knew nothing about at the time) and watching everything she's released since. She is crazy talented and I think fondly of the conversations I had with her back in my Sacramento days. Someday I hope to see her live again, but this is perfect, I adore acoustic sets.
We are love Chelsea Wolfe new album and this tiny desk concert shows how good and enjoyable it was angelic voice wow Chelsea Wolfe shine through the entire world
She just announced a couple of shows in my country for mid next year, it'll be the second time I see her. This couldn't have come at a better time! What a great way to spend a part of Halloween evening :)
I think this is the most amount of light I have ever seen her in.
Might also be the highest quality, clearest recording of her vocals.
Same!!
omg same
same it almost feels kinda blasphemous
@BurnTheNotice There are numerous excellent quality recordings of her vocals, including of course her own albums. What you probably mean is "unaffected" (without reverb, delay, chorus effects etc).
Flatlands has been my favorite for years.
Mine too
💜
Same. That album came out while I was in grad school and it holds a very special place in my heart.
Yeay, one of my all time favorites.
Saw her randomly before a Russian Circles show in St. Louis like 15 years ago, absolutely blew me away. The goth queen we all need.
I went to that same tour in Los Angeles. I still have the merch I bought at that show!
I saw her in Grand Rapids on that tour. I hung out with her before the show and she was very friendly…shy, but very friendly. I purchased a journal from her that she signed for me.
@@MDudgeon0518 Was it 2012? I saw them with Marriages in NYC.
@@JuanCarlosPradaThis sounds right to me! Saw this tour in Columbus.
Love Russian Circles💚
Chelsea's voice is so mesmerizing with these acoustic arrangements. "Dusk" especially wowed me.
If you like Chelsea Wolfe, check out Emma Ruth Rundle. Both amazing women, and amazing songwriters. In fact, they've even written music together.
Emma ruth rudle Return...❤❤❤
ERR is incredible.
The album she did with Thou was a masterpiece.
I do love Emma Ruth Rundle, her work with Thou was good but not as much my thing as her earlier stuff. "I wear the colours of Babylon" is such an interesting line, I have no idea what colours those are or why you'd wear them, but it sure sounds cool
I always thought the same thing. Emma Ruth Rundle is so amazing, and so diverse. Love both her and Chelsea Wolfe.
You’re late they where both on Sargent House
the Halloween concert we needed
Right! I’ve replayed it three times now so beautiful.
zzzzz...... twilight soundtrack? teenage angst in middle age is a tough look!
Underrated comment

I listen to her music all year long, I don't need to wait till the end of october
Wow, this rendition of Dusk at 3:42 is just amazing. The studio version is lovely in itself, but this bare bones version shines brightly. Goosebumps.
I was already obsessed with the song but this version gave me the goosies.
@@Msterror95666 I've never heard the original. this is the first time I'm hearing her, or this song, and I'm in tears. This song is devastatingly beautiful. wow.

What a presence in our world. A flickering candle in the darkness. So good.
What an angelic voice. No need for more than just a guitar and a piano. Glad you captured this legend on NPR!
Seeing her with a full band is an incredible experience if you ever get the chance. Literally held her own on a bill with all metal bands last time I saw her.
She's Amazing!
So gentle is her voice and her voice just soothes everything that hurts!!!! ❤
00:00 “Whispers in the Echo Chamber”
3:41 "Dusk"

Like the first warm sun rays on a summer morning.
Perfect way to put it. This song has helped me so much throughout the years
Obsessed w/ Chelsea Wolfe’s since 2013, with the PAIN IS BEAUTY record. I cannot wait to see her in December!!!
She's so beautiful live, the energy of the crowd was sooo good when I went. They burned incense at my venue too!! I hope you have the best time :)
so was so good here in manchester, cant wait for you to enjoy it too
flatlands makes me cry every time
It's my favorite.
Her voice reaches into my chest and wraps around my heart. What an amazing artist.
HOLY COW those vocals from Wolfe are just magical
This version of Place In The Sun is deeply moving.
we need this on vinyl or CD for us collectors of physical media. many of the tiny desks actually are worthy of an EP

Nah, she's properly rated.
Not underrated at all. Everyone who listens to her loves her work.
not underrated, overrated...sorry of course she is not. she is one of my favorites. this voice and music is to unique to be underrated
amazing vibrato!! Saw her 4 times live this June
I pressed this immediately once i saw this.
same
right with you. nothing else mattered suddenly.

Nice voice, but I have no idea what her songs are about.
@@paulwhetstone0473it’s about her own healing process and new sobriety
Have you heard her version of Joni's Woodstock? Truly magical.
Check out Tori Amos, she paved the way after Joni Mitchell 💖 And also Soap&Skin for darker tones 🖤
flatlands had been my favorite song for so long. i’m determined to walk down the aisle to that song
Hope it's a simple minimalist wedding or it would slightly contradict the message lol
Such a great idea. I hope you get to do it.
Dusk enjoyers win again, what a beautiful performance
I LOVE hearing Chelsea with just a guitar or piano ❤ 💖🖤 her voice gives me the chills 🥰❤️🔥
One of my fave versions of flatlands.
When the piano comes in after "I need your arms wrapped hard around me" is absolutely unreal.
One of my favorite album this year, just beautiful. Pleasantly surprised seeing her perform Flatlands.. teared up a bit ngl. Also that Place in the Sun rendition gave me full blown chills
What a breathtaking album. So happy got to see her live this year.

Happy Halloween 👻 Chelsea
Vampire Folk 🦇🖤
Supernatural voice control
her voice makes my heart swell in a good way. so hypnotized by her😍
Maybe my favourite artist ever, and so, so good live. Love her heavier stuff but these stripped back numbers are so gorgeous
I love how she changed the melody on "Whispers in the echo chamber"
My Queen 🖤
She has a beautiful voice!
I have been listening to her music every day for an entire month! I can not get enough of her music or her voice!!!
Beautiful beyond belief!!! Such a great surprise to see her come back out again!!! Thank you Tiny Desk for this Gift!!!

so much love for this being and her creative visons.
This made my day, week, month, year 🖤🤍
Oh my word... thank you, Tiny Desk 🖤
2 seconds into Dusk and my chest explodes...kudos Chelsea Wolfe!
Melts me every time. Such power in subtlety.

"She Reaches Out To She" is an excellent album. Might be my favorite Chelsea Wolfe record.
Sublime! What a fabulous & captivating performance. Thank you Chelsea Wolfe and NPR Tiny Desk for treating us all to this wonderous concert. Beautiful.
Ughs i fall in love with her everytime i hear her sing!
She was, they were, incredible on Monday in Manchester.

Holy hells, this version of Dusk is just mind bogglingly beautiful.
Her voice and self seem to get more beautiful every year
Absolutely gorgeous! Particularly loved this rendition of Dusk.
The dark goddess who sings the Siren song , that doesn’t cast us on the rocks but draws every emotion from our being . Music should be Dark, pure, and fills us with Serenity !
Dusk is such an incredibly poignant song. Thank you so much for high lighting the wonderful talent of Chelsea!
This is my favorite Chelsea form. Her stripped down acoustic stuff is just mind-blowing
Chelsea Wolfe channels a magic so pure. Something ancient and beautiful.
Real Music full of soul.
I love Chelsea so much. So glad we have another tiny desk with her! Forever amazed by her voice and personality. 🖤✨
Chelsea suffers from social anxiety, that must have been really tough for her to do this intimate show. She's the best! 🖤🖤🖤

Beautiful.
I love her acoustic/stripped down versions of songs. So good!
NPR Tiny Desk never fails......great performance, great artist 😘
She’s so incredible. So her live in Dallas years ago and she killed it

What a beautiful and humble soul. Stripped down and just a piano and her voice. So beautiful.
This place is full of music souls
This performance is beautiful
Thank you, for your musicality. New fan of your ART
Thanks for this present! Deep and passionate... I'll be at her concert next week, I can't wait
Yeah Wolfe! I'm thankful she toured with Ministry in 2018. I'd never heard her before then. This is a beautiful set. It melts my heart.

dusk has been my favorite this year and this version is just so beautiful. something about her voice really touches my soul
Incredible. One of the most underrated artists on the planet.
Saw Chelsea perform in Glasgow on Sunday there. It was top class, amazing wee gig
Amazing as always!
