Eerie indie folk songstress Marissa Nadler recently set out on a month-long U.S. tour with the similarly styled Alela Diane. Nadler's latest release, Little Hells, came out earlier this year on Kemado, and was — as usual — packed with haunting tunes that come off like the soundtrack to the most wistful Southern Gothic novel ever (screenplay by William Faulkner and Angela Carter, starring someo

In my opinion Marissa Nadler reached a fine height with 2007’s Bird onthe Water. Songs like ‘Sylvia’ entrenched themselves in theimagination; the melodies were persuasive and the simple guitar pickingwas confident in its emotional capability. Songs like ‘Mexican Summer’expanded her atmospheric repertoire and re-contextualised her gothicballads in lands beyond the forest edge that they gr

Sorry Vanessa Carlton, but after a long stint in the premier league, you’re being relegated to the grapefruit league of dreamy female musicians. It was a solid run and as much as I liked the video where you drove your piano from the suburbs into Manhattan like the beginning of the Naked Gun (or Police Squad if you’re old school); the last straw was dating the singer from Third Eye Blind.

Folk Off! features artists like Tunng, Vashti Bunyan, Magnetaphone, Marissa Nadler, Vetiver, Dr. Dog, Suf...

delia derbyshireThanks to ISO50 for posting this amazing recording of Delia Derbyshire's utterly haunting 1964 sound collage, "Dreams," in which Derbyshire set "a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews" of people relating details about their recurring dreams (or nightmares) against her own "dissonant, often terrifying musique concrete soundbeds..." Listen alone/in the dark for the full ef...
