Marissa Nadler
Sister
Boston dream-folk singer Marissa Nadler will follow up last June's self-titled record with The Sister, out May 29 via her own Box of Cedar Records. Nadler says the album is "a sister" to her last album, collecting eight songs "subtly linked" to Marissa Nadler.
In contrast to Nadler's last album, The Sister grapples with themes beyond heartbreak. "I realized I had muses all around me," she says in press release, "childhood, betrayal, friendships, new love, nature, or hope. The narrator's stronger in my songs now." She focused on stark lyrical content to parallel the tone of the songs, noting that some of her biggest influences were "confessional songwriters."
