The Quietus wrote of this Chelsea Wolfe release at the time: „“I was about to call it a day when, on the way out of the venue, my attention was caught by a siren’s wail, and I was drawn inexorably to the Green Room, the 013’s middle venue. Chelsea Wolfe’s mix of shoegaze swirls and satanic swamp-rock stomp was totally, irresistibly enthralling (and I missed the last train home as a result.) It’s these kind of discoveries that Roadburn is built upon. Just by chance, you’ll stumble across a performance from a band who’ll be your new favourite thing for the next 12 months, then you come back here, and you start the process all over again.“
