Marissa Nadler
The melancholy East Coast singer/songwriter Marissa Nadler blends the traditions of British folk and dream pop into an atmosphere all her own. Raised in rural Massachusetts, Nadler took to painting first, a passion she still puts into practice, but it was her love for music that drove her to become proficient with nearly every stringed instrument she could get her hands on.

Hailed as a smoky chanteuse both sultry and captivating, Marissa Nadler's songs are mostly mournful dirges and melancholic ballads. Delving into influences of old-timey Americana folk, Portuguese fado, psychedelia and country, the songwriting is gripping and unique. Pursuing the persona poem, most of the songs are stories of tragic deaths, forbidden fates, jilted love affairs and stormy suicides, as well as some introspective first-person songs. In concert, the melodrama is obvious, each performance drippin [ read more ]
