Marissa Nadler Profile
Despite the undeniably folksy swirl of this album, Nadler avoids conventions of the genre, preferring sparse evocative arrangements. As we stumble across the dreamscape of July, Nadler's layered vocals deal with the distortion of utterly personal memories over time as they're filtered through nostalgia and half-imagined realities. Deeply romantic, ghostly ethereal and sometimes hymnal, Nadler tends towards a gothic darkness that wallows in gloomy melancholia. The delicate beauty of her music and the honest emotional lyrics ensure this album isn't complete downer. Those private contemplative moments are where you might find yourself connecting with July.
