Back in November during CMJ I was at an Album Leaf show and one of the many openers was a young woman by the name of Marissa Nadler. I remember hearing that she had played Relative Theory so I made sure to catch her set, and I was really blown away by her performance. She stills the air completely as she sends cold, beautiful, entrancing sound waves all about the room. Her voice is very delicate and airy, yet deliberate at the same time, and to expound that she uses two microphones, one with a normal mix and one loaded with haunting reverb. We are lucky enough to have her performing at The Boot on March 5, exactly one week before her new album Songs III: Bird on the Water comes out, and maybe we’ll be lucky enough to pick up the new material a bit early. She is far more literary and more mature than most singer-songwriters in the indie-game right now, and she recently performed on BBC with big influence Vashti Bunyan (who is a big deal and you should Wikipedia her). This show will be sad and gorgeous and a magnificent event. March 5, The Boot. Attend.
