Marissa Nadler - New Radiations

Facts Marissa Nadler has spent the past two decades crafting a singular body of work defined by spectral beauty, haunting lyricism, and a voice that feels both ancient and intimate. Since her 2004 debut Ballads of Living and Dying, the Boston-born singer-songwriter has become a revered figure in the worlds of dream-folk, gothic Americana, and atmospheric rock. Across acclaimed releases like Little Hells, July, and For My Crimes, Nadler has seamlessly woven tales of longing, mystery, and memory with ethereal instrumentation and poetic depth. With New Radiations, Nadler pares back to a more minimal, drumless sound--letting her voice and fingerpicked guitar take center stage. The album feels intimate and clear-eyed, offering a quiet yet resonant collection of songs that reflect an artist ever attuned to the power of subtle transformation.
