On Monday, March 23rd at 11am, Carnacki welcomes back singer-songwriter, Marissa Nadler, to the KALX studios for a live performance and interview. Be sure to catch Nadler’s live performance the night before her KALX appearance at the 4-Star Theater in SF on Sunday, March 22nd.
For over two decades, Marissa Nadler has carved out a singular place in the musical landscape, where ethereal folk, shadowy Americana, ambient soundscapes, shoegaze and experimental textures converge. Anchored by her unmistakable mezzo-soprano and intricate fingerstyle guitar, Nadler’s music conjures vivid emotional worlds—intimate, otherworldly, and timeless. A prolific songwriter, Nadler has built a discography defined by spectral beauty and haunting lyricism. Her songs, dreamlike and lush, are rich with painterly imagery and emotional nuance.
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, on her tenth official full-length record, New Radiations, she returns with a raw, intimate, and breathtaking collection of eleven otherworldly songs.
Produced by Nadler herself and mixed by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn O)))), New Radiations features subtle arrangements from longtime collaborator Milky Burgess—woozy slide guitar, hypnagogic synthesizers, and gritty riffs. Genre‑bending yet quintessentially her own, this album freezes the world’s noise in a moment of beauty and solemnity. New Radiations is not just another album—it’s a career highlight, a testament to Marissa Nadler’s singular vision and artistry.
