"Everything dies / It's just the way", sings Marissa Nadler on 'It Hits Harder', the opening track on her latest collection of siren songs, New Radiations. No one does bleak and beautiful quite so well. Buzz review here.
To mark the album's release, the Quietus invited her to pick one track from each of her ten records to date, put out over the course of the last two decades. In conversation with Irina Shtreis, she talked about sources of inspiration (the poetry of Pablo Neruda, Eastern European folk, the TV series Unsolved Mysteries), underlined her incredibly good taste in collaborators (Randall Dunn, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Chris Coady, Mary Lattimore, Blonde Redhead's Simone Pace) and revealed some perhaps surprising musical influences (Pink Floyd, Hole).
