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.
