Marissa Nadler – Under an Old Umbrella

Biography
Nadler studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she began her performing career after writing songs for many years. Her most recent record was self-released on June 14th, 2011. A new record, The Sister, was released in April of 2012.
Nadler writes strange, yet classic, melancholy songs. Her voice is often bathed in a wash of reverb and space echo and creates a ghostly, atmospheric feeling to the music.
She has american gothic leanings; her songs often take place in an imagined, idealistic time with a cast of characters of her own creation. Her links to American Gothic are reinforced by Annabelle Lee, the last song on her debut album, Ballads of Living and Dying, which puts the poem of the same title by Edgar Allan Poe to a musical backing. Singing in a haunting mezzo-soprano, the foundation of her songs are her delicate 6-string acoustic guitar, often accompanied by variety of instruments, including electric guitar, theremin, and piano. Marissa Nadler is continuously thought of as a prolific and thoughtful musician, and it seems that a neverending flow of beautiful songs pours from her fingers and voice.

Indeed, I wish they were reissued soon by Kemado or by Marissa herself on her own label.

Shouldn't her first two records be reissued someday? I need them badly.

I agree, Madrangue, Songs III is clearly her best work.

I like the idea of Marissa getting involved into some doom metal/neofolk project or (even better) something progressive à la Fields of the Nephilim, that would be fantastic. I've always thought she should use more clean guitars, those plus reverb and her gorgeous voice would result in instant eargasm.

"it would be neat if she got into recording some metal." - - Listen to Portal of Sorrow by Xasthur, she handles the guest-vocals!

Why is Songs III so good? This album is such a haunter.

If it were possible to fall in love with a voice, hers would be the one.
