"Boston-based Marissa Nadler releases The Sister, a collection of eight new tracks subtly linked to last year's self-titled critically acclaimed LP. 'Heartbreak is a great muse, but it can wear you down,' she admits, referring to the stormy relationships that haunted many of the heavenly hooks on her most recent works. 'For The Sister, I realized I had muses all around me, whether it was childhood, betrayal, friendships, new love, nature, or hope. The narrator's stronger in my songs now, and more able to bounce back if they choose to.' On The Sister she keeps her confessionals as intimate as possible explaining, 'I wanted the starkness of every song to reflect the lyrical content. Some of my biggest influences are confessional songwriters. It's always been a very powerful thing to listen to Elliott Smith and Joni Mitchell, and feel so much from their stories.'"

"Marissa Nadler's Kickstarter funded self-titled self-release. Brian McTear produced the album, which Nadler says is the 'most honest, natural record' of her career."
"You'll want this music to never end...best severe and complex emotions that we've possibly never recognized in this or previous lives." -- LA Weekly

2nd album from singer/songwriter Marissa Nadler. "A friend of mine, when visiting, was curious if I knew of another rich coloured voice like for instance, Sandy Denny. I couldn't convince him with Mandy Morton, but Marissa Nadler blew him away. And indeed, each song of Marissa's shows its own worlds in poetry, in growth like a flower, shining gently, accompanied by the spiral-wards splendid acoustic guitarpicking. From her earlier demo with different, easier guitar, and with a beautiful transformed dark melancholic melody is 'Yellow Lights'. 'Old Love haunts me in the morning', acoustic guitar, voice, and some piano, for me is almost like the voice of love itself, sadly unreachable, but therefore also beautiful and pure, as a spring-time condition. Somehow all inspirations on this album are as much related to nature, on various levels of inspiration. 'Calico' might be something like her place into the picture. 'Horses and their kin' is a perfect closer with 12-string guitar fingerpicking and various vocal chorus arrangements. Brilliant!" - Gerald Van Waes. The CD is housed in gatefold sleeve as well -- sort of a mini-version of the LP gatefold.
