Oct 12, 2017Hiss Spun is easily a contender for her best work.

Sep 22, 2017While Wolfe’s incredible vocals are the main draw, her long term collaborator Ben Chisholm deserves significant recognition too. Not only does his fuzzed-to-fuck bass make these songs feel genuinely threatening, his manipulation of sound and creation of washes and collages provides unsettling backgrounds for Wolfe to weave her magic over. Without him, the oppressive atmospherics of the album wouldn’t be nearly as effective.

Sep 20, 2017Hiss Spun is a hypnotic, cyclical work that becomes transformative with repeated listens.

Sep 20, 2017Listening to Hiss Spun is a punishing affair, but it's a rewarding one too. It's the sound of an artist not afraid to dig deep emotionally, and that challenges the listener to do so as well.

Sep 26, 2017Both fierce and fragile, Hiss Spun presents an artist in compelling control of the entire scope of her expression.

Sep 20, 2017Hiss Spun is a full-on sludge-metal extravaganza, never content to go slow and heavy when it could be going slower and heavier. The bombast is overwhelming, and while there’s an admirable zeal to her drive for making almost every second as intense as possible, it begins to get numbing.
