The Profile

American singer-songwriter and painter from Massachusetts known for ethereal vocals and intricate fingerpicking, releasing acclaimed records on Sacred Bones and Bella Union.

Reviews note her melodious voice, fingerpicking style, and Boston roots. Strangers (2016) followed July (2014), both linked with producer Randall Dunn. Singles preceding Strangers included Janie in Love and All the Colours of the Dark. Bury Your Name (2016) was home-recorded in Boston and expanded from a limited cassette into an 8-track release.

Three DeBaser reviews chart Marissa Nadler’s ethereal indie-folk: from the twilight poetics of Ballads of Living and Dying to the dusky sheen of Strangers and the intimate, home-recorded Bury Your Name. Reviewers praise her melodious voice, fingerpicking, and elegant storytelling. Strangers continues July’s dark atmospheres with Randall Dunn’s production, while Bury Your Name strips things back to diary-like confessionals.
