Ahead of her acoustic tour of Europe, Chelsea Wolfe unveils a beautiful new video for the track Highway, off her recent, gothic Americana bent album, Birth Of Violence. The video was created by two close associates of hers, Ben Chisholm and Kristin Cofer, and follows in the dark artist's long-established custom for compelling visuals and fine aesthetics.
"I’ve been blessed to work with both Ben Chisholm and Kristin Cofer for many years now as creative collaborators," Chelsea says in a statement. "Ben sometimes does something called 'grave-hunting,' searching for graves for people online who are looking for their relatives in far-away cemeteries. Kristin and I went along with him one day last Spring to a hidden graveyard in a small mountain town and I brought my guitar along. We searched, and filmed, and played some music for those who’ve passed on. The feel of the video was inspired by some footage I stumbled upon of Joni Mitchell from a 1966 French-Canadian TV show, after I had already written Highway, but the feel was just so sweet and natural and free, and I wanted to bring that to life for my own song as well, since Joni has been such a big inspiration for me since childhood."
