Marissa Nadler - New Radiations - White Color Vinyl Record

The last time we heard from Marissa Nadler, she was exploring The Path of the Clouds and its companion EP, The Wrath of the Clouds. Now, on her tenth full-length album, New Radiations, she comes back with a heartfelt, intimate, and stunning collection of eleven soulful songs.Right from the first note, Nadler’s rich voice and delicate fingerpicking take center stage. She beautifully layers Everly Brothers-style harmonies over dreamy, lonely soundscapes — filled with fuzzed-out distortion, Hammond organ, and moody synthesizers — creating a textured sound that highlights her warm vulnerability. Each song feels like a snapshot of a lived-in moment, carrying quiet yet powerful emotion.Lyrically, she takes us on journeys through time and space — inhabiting characters in a small plane, a spaceship, a getaway car, and even different dimensions. Her storytelling feels cinematic and deeply personal, blending sweet melodies with dark, intense lyrics. Whether she’s singing from her own perspective or embodying other characters, the album explores themes of love and loss with sincerity and compassion.New Radiations features subtle yet impactful arrangements from her longtime collaborator Milky Burgess — including soulful slide guitar, hypnotic synthesizers, and gritty riffs. It’s a genre-blending album that remains uniquely her own, capturing a moment of beauty and reflection amid the world’s noise. More than just another album, New Radiations stands out as a remarkable achievement and a true reflection of Marissa Nadler’s unique artistry.
