Marissa Nadler Announces New Album the Path of the Clouds out October 29Th on Sacred Bones & Bella Union & Shares Lead Single/Video “Bessie, Did You Make It? August 25, 2021 For Immediate Release Marissa Nadler Announces New Album The Path of the Clouds Out October 29th on Sacred Bones & Bella Union & Shares Lead Single/Video “Bessie, Did You Make It?" Photo credit: Nick Fancher Marissa Nadler announces her ninth solo album, The Path of the Clouds, out October 29th on Sacred Bones & Bella Union, and shares the lead single/video, “Bessie, Did You Make It?” The Path of the Clouds is the most stylistically adventurous, lyrically transfixing, and melodically sophisticated collection of songs in her already rich discography. Gripped by wanderlust while suddenly housebound at the start of the pandemic in 2020, Nadler escaped into writing, and came back with a stunning set of songs about metamorphosis, love, mysticism, and murder. Blurring the line between reality and fantasy and moving freely between past and present, these 11 deeply personal, self-produced songs find Nadler exploring new landscapes, both sonic and emotional. While she’s always been a brilliant guitarist, Nadler challenged herself to expand her palette for The Path of the Clouds, experimenting with synthetic textures that make the album feel untethered from time and space. Nadler also learned to play piano during the pandemic’s isolation, and she composed many of the songs on the album on keys rather than guitar, which further contributed to their exploratory feel. These songs are unmistakably Marissa Nadler’s, but they sound free to go places she’s never gone before. One of Nadler’s distractions during the 2020 quarantine was binging reruns of Unsolved Mysteries. As she watched, she began to notice parallels between many of its stories and her own life. What began as a writing exercise became the bedrock of her songwriting process, as she came to inhabit the narratives that had so fascinated her. In lead single “Bessie, Did You Make It?,” Nadler inverts the canon of the murder ballad, craing a narrative of female empowerment and survival. The accompanying video was directed by Thou’s Mitch Wells who says, "When I first got the chance to hear Marissa’s new album, and was asked, ‘Which song would you like to do a video for?’ I sort of panicked because literally every song is SO good. It was like being at a buffet of all your favorite food and only being able to choose one thing to eat. I had a blast making the video, but there was always the pressure of ‘don’t let down the song.’ It’s such a beautiful opening track and I’m really lucky I was given the chance to be a part of it." Watch “Bessie, Did You Make It” Video Nadler tracked the skeletons of The Path of the Clouds at home and then sent them to some choice collaborators, including experimental harpist Mary Lattimore and Simon Raymonde, the Cocteau Twins bassist and her Lost Horizons collaborator. Multi-instrumentalist Milky Burgess, having recently worked on the soundtrack to the film Mandy, adds intricate melodic power throughout the album. Jesse Chandler, Nadler’s piano teacher (as well as a member of Mercury Rev and Midlake), plays winding woodwinds and plaintive piano to luminous effect. Fellow singer-songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle and Black Mountain’s Amber Webber contribute elsewhere. Seth Manchester, known for his work with Lingua Ignota, Battles, and Lightning Bolt, mixed the album, adding dimension to the songs’ atmospheric beauty with screeching feedback and distorted guitars. The Path of the Clouds showcases the power of an artist at the peak of her powers nearly 20 years into an acclaimed career as a songwriter and singer. Coming a long way from the spare dream folk of her earlier work, she has remained inspired and continues to evolve, open to new ideas and directions. The proof is right here, in Nadler’s most ambitious and complex album yet. Watch “Bessie, Did You Make It” Video Pre-order The Path of the Clouds The Path of the Clouds tracklist 1.

  • Lisa Gerrard and Elizabeth Fraser
    Article received on: 24th September 2015 Article accepted on : 15th October 2015 UDC: 781.6 78.071.2 Џерард JI. 78.071.2 Фрејзер E. COBISS.SR-ID 223348492 Julijana Zhabeva Papazova* Independent researcher, Skopje WOMEN’S VOICES IN ALTERNATIVE MUSIC - LISA GERRARD AND ELIZABETH FRASER Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of Lisa Gerrard’s and Elizabeth Fraser’s vocal styles that promoted a new way of singing on the alternative music scene. Instead of the traditional usage of lyrics in the English language as their mother tongue, they use so called ‘glossolalia’, meaning wordless, or substituting language with a melodic, ex­ ploratory rapture by their vocal range alone in a couple of octaves. The main points of analysis are the relationships between the vocal interpretation and instruments, music form, main melodic themes, rhythm, accomplished with iconography in the relationship between vocal interpretations and stage performances. Key words: alternative music, Lisa Gerrard, Elizabeth Fraser, vocal analysis, glossolalia Introduction The period of the 1980s brought more diverse and at the same time powerful and expressive female vocals with a wide vocal range as band or solo singers in the area of pop, rock and alternative music such as: Kate Bush, Lisa Gerrard, Eliza­ beth Fraser, Siouxsie, Tracy Chapman, Enya and Sinead O’Connor. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the vocal interpretation of two singers, members of two important bands as marked in published music encyclopedias and monographs in the domain of alternative or indie music: Lisa Gerrard as the vocalist of Dead Can Dance and Elizabeth Fraser as the vocalist of Cocteau Twins.

  • The Music Column That Wouldn't Die: New Album Reviews
    The Music Column That Wouldn’t Die: New Album Reviews. I told myself I was over this, that I had retired from the world of music reviews. I had moved onto bigger and better things (mostly staring at the wall and wondering why nobody calls me anymore). Yet here I am, a mere few months after burning my bridges, giving up on new music and making a world of enemies, back in the game. Did I miss the constant abuse, the being paid in soiled pennies and the lack of recognition which writing this unremembered column entailed? Funnily enough, I did! It was listening to the post punk genius of the new Dry Cleaning record that did it. I thought to myself ‘someone has to take it upon themselves to tell the world just how good this album is’. After a moment of quiet reflection where I drank a glass of lukewarm Ribena to calm the nerves, I decided that that person may as well be me. By JOHN BITTLES So, here we are. Bittles’ Magazine, like some particularly bothersome zombie with a bad haircut and worse breath, has been reborn. And what a re-introduction we have! In this month’s reviews there is the art heavy punk funk strut of Squid, the melancholy dream pop of White Flowers, Thomas Fehlmann’s rich ambiance, the return of living legends The Coral, the skewed pop of Dntel, and Dry Cleaning of course. So, tell all your friends, phone the tabloids, and let us begin… New Long Leg by Dry Cleaning.

Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

    February 21, 2019 For Immediate Releases Marissa Nadler Shares Two New Singles “Poison” (Feat. John Cale) & “If We Make It Through The Summer” Via KRO Records Listen Here "One of the most gorgeous voices in the business" – NPR Music Marissa Nadler shares two new singles, “Poison” (featuring John Cale) and “If We Make It Through The Summer.” Both were written during the time Nadler was working on material that would end up on 2018’s For My Crimes (Sacred Bones/Bella Union). These songs mark one of the first one-off releases on KRO Records – the new label from producers/musicians Justin Raisen, Lawrence Rothman and Yves Rothman. “Sometimes it's best not to know in advance; that's what I continually remind myself about how this duet with legendary songwriter John Cale came together,” says Nadler. “Had I known that Justin and Lawrence would arrange for Cale to sing ‘Poison’ with me before I wrote or recorded it, I cannot be certain I wouldn't have become frozen with hesitations and second-guessing. How do you even start to go about writing a duet with a member of the Velvet Underground? Surely I might have nervously changed the lyric that accidentally namechecks a title of a Velvet Underground song (‘Run Run Run’), at the very least. For me, Cale is one of the most influential rock musicians, remaining admirably hard to Pin down. His aPPearance on this song was a comPlete surPrise to me, but the instant I heard it I knew that this was the way the song was meant to be heard.” “Lyrically, ‘Poison’ was written as a conversation between a couPle—I hoPe it conjures a Portrait of one of those intense moments of contemPlation in a relationshiP that you never forget, forever frozen inside a snow globe.
