Airy, simple, ambient
It is hard to describe this album as dark and dreery, because while Marissa’s sound is ghost like and spacious, it leaves you with a certain amount of consolation. With airy vocals spread generously over a soft guitar and occasional faint ambient instrumentals, this album feels like the soundscape for the memory of a lonely and beautiful place. Far from depressing, Nadler brings her audience to a place that is neither sorrowful nor triumphant, and it resonates in a way that is both surprising and familiar.
