Marisa Nadler - New Radiations

The last we heard from Marissa Nadler, she was soaring through The Path of the Clouds and its companion EP, The Wrath of the Clouds. Now, with her tenth official full-length, New Radiations, she returns with a raw, intimate, and breathtaking collection of eleven otherworldly songs.

From the very first note, Nadler’s lush voice and intricate fingerpicking take center stage. Everly Brothers–style harmonies drift over dreamlike, lonesome soundscapes — fuzzed-out distortion, Hammond organ, and ominous synthesizers — adding layers of texture and atmosphere to her warm vulnerability.

Each track plays like a vignette from a life fully lived, carrying emotional weight that lingers long after it’s over. Lyrically, Nadler travels through time and space, inhabiting characters in an airborne Cessna, a spaceship, a getaway car, and even alternate dimensions. Her storytelling is cinematic yet deeply personal, with a striking contrast between sweet, melodic hooks and dark, visceral themes.

Longtime collaborator Milky Burgess adds subtle arrangements — woozy slide guitar, hypnagogic synths, and gritty riffs — that enrich the album’s haunting beauty.

Genre-bending yet unmistakably hers, New Radiations freezes the world’s noise in a moment of quiet solemnity. It stands as a career highlight, a testament to Marissa Nadler’s singular vision and artistry.

This white vinyl edition offers a perfect way to experience one of her most stunning works to date.
