Oct 16, 2012Unknown Rooms is spare, gorgeous, and haunting, offering surprises for her established fans and likely winning her new ones in the process.
-
Nov 16, 2012While there are some issues with the feeling of déjà vu, Unknown Rooms doesn't really do anything noticeably off the mark.
-
Oct 16, 2012Unknown 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.
-
Oct 16, 2012The 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 17, 2012Unknown Rooms is a short album, but its nine songs capture and sustain free-floating fear and menace.
-
Oct 29, 2012Unknown Rooms is very, very accomplished, giving the sense that Wolfe has realised the extent of her own ability and acted on it.
-
Oct 24, 2012Unknown 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.
