Here's another pretty singer-songwriter album. Originally a visual artist, Marissa Nadler first became seriously interested in music while attending Rhode Island School of Design. Songs III is, you guessed it, her third album. Nadler's songs hover somewhere in between freak-folk and lush ballads. Elaborate and dreamy, Songs III sounds like something from another time, an idealized world of Gothic beauty and sadness. Melancholy acoustic guitar picking, organ, strings and occasional percussion back Nadler's angelic voice, which is often layered and drenched in reverb, giving her lyric poetry a floaty, otherworldly quality.
