About This Item
The last we heard from Marissa Nadler, she was soaring through The Path ofthe Clouds and it's companion EP, The Wrath of the Clouds. Now, on her tenthofficial full-length record, New Radiations, she returns with a raw, intimate,and breathtaking collection of eleven otherworldly songs.From the first note, Nadler's rich voice and intricate fingerpicking are frontand center. She layers Everly Brothers-style harmonies over dreamlike, lonesome soundscapes-fuzzed-out distortion, Hammond organ, and ominoussynthesizers-that elevate her warm vulnerability with texture and atmosphere. Each track unfolds like a vignette of a life lived, delivering emotionalweight that resonates with quiet intensity.Lyrically, she shape-shifts through time and space-inhabiting charactersin an airborne Cessna, a spaceship, a getaway car, and alternate dimensions.Her storytelling is cinematic in scope and deeply personal in impact and thecontrast between sweet, catchy melodies and dark, visceral lyrics runs deep.Whether singing from the first-person narrative or channeling these otherpeople, the album taps into the universality of love and loss with gravitas andempathy.Produced by Nadler herself and mixed by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn O)))),New Radiations features subtle arrangements from longtime collaboratorMilky Burgess-woozy slide guitar, hypnagogic synthesizers, and grittyriffs. Genre-bending yet quintessentially her own, this album freezes theworld's noise in a moment of beauty and solemnity.
