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. Like the work of contemporaries Faun Fables, Espers, Joanna Newsom, and Josephine Foster, Nadler's compositions sound both timeless and otherworldly. She has released several full-length albums, including Ballads of Living and Dying, Saga of Mayflower May, Song 3: Bird on the Water, and Little Hells.
