Oct 29, 201280Unknown Rooms is very, very accomplished, giving the sense that Wolfe has realised the extent of her own ability and acted on it.
-
Oct 24, 201280Unknown Rooms is entirely built on pure rests and negative space, the nerve-racking space of silence. Everything on the album sounds and feels distant, as if the sounds are emanating from the other end of a dark eternal hallway.
-
Oct 16, 201280The tone and pace of Wolfe's voice don't really vary that much, and there isn't enough happening with the instrumentation to give the album any real sense of dynamism.
-
Oct 16, 201280Unknown Rooms is spare, gorgeous, and haunting, offering surprises for her established fans and likely winning her new ones in the process.
-
Oct 17, 201277Unknown Rooms is a short album, but its nine songs capture and sustain free-floating fear and menace.
-
Nov 16, 201276While there are some issues with the feeling of déjà vu, Unknown Rooms doesn't really do anything noticeably off the mark.
-
Oct 16, 201270Unknown Rooms is admittedly an endeavor to listen to as a whole. But with the dense themes and music also comes reward: an acceptance for the unknown, and plucking the bizarre beauty from the inevitable.
-
Nov 21, 201260Short, but thrillingly witchy and proof that Wolfe can command the quiet as well as she does the noise. [Dec 2012, p.115]
-
Oct 16, 201260Wolfe seems out in the open for the first time--overall, though, she's more interesting when she's deep in the woods.
-
Oct 26, 201255When it's not pounding out overly mechanical drum patterns, the band is crowding the better moments with unnecessary noise. A friendly suggestion for Sea Wolf LP number four: solo acoustic. [No.92 p.58]
