Marissa Nadler

"...hers is the kind of voice one imagines coming to Leonard Cohen in a fever dream.” - The New Yorker

"This Boston-based mood musician excels at crafting Americana gothic — lyrical, spectral songs, sparsely arranged, that frame stories told in extreme close-up. On her eighth album, Nadler, with assistance from pals like Angel Olsen and Kristin Kontrol, spins tales of love and loss into gold. Her feathery soprano is the album’s floating center, transforming the post-heartbreak lament “I Can’t Listen to Gene Clark Anymore” into a stirringly relatable romantic eulogy and turning the lush “Blue Vapor” into a slow-burning fever dream."- Maura Johnston for Rolling Stone

"While For My Crimes contains her unmistakable signature in both songwriting and sound, as a whole it point to an open door for new possibilities to emerge in the future. It's sophisticated and emotionally arresting, it's among the finest offerings in her catalog." - All Music Guide


“Her melodies are captivating and her craft comes through strongly…For My Crimes is steady and unwavering.”
The WIRE

"For My Crimes subverts expectations by focusing on the music and its execution, not merely just the lyrics. Eight albums strong, Nadler knows precisely how to paint a picture with her music, and her latest shows exactly how complex that picture can be."- Pop Matters

“The Boston singer–songwriter is at her most powerful yet… With a new strength to her songs, Nadler’s force has never seemed greater.” Q Magazine – 4 Stars ****

“Brooding, intimate songs about long nights of the soul, but with a thoughtfulness and lightness of touch that makes the album a calm, reassuring listen.” The Times – 4 Stars ****

“Beautifully eerie… She’s caught the openness of spirit of her early albums and added a gorgeously gothic undertow – there’s a stately beauty to songs like I Can’t Listen To Gene Clark Anymore, or the devastating intimacy of Interlocking, that’s hard–won.” Uncut

“A record that glimmers in all it’s tenebrous ambience… A master–class in Southern Gothic.” Record Collector – 4 Stars ****

“ For My Crimes’ brooding, melancholic songs burn with tangible ardour.” MOJO

“Her best album yet… The ability to detail the minutiae of relationships with detached but recognisable emotion has distinguished the Boston–based musician over her 15–year career.”
Rock’n’Reel – 5 Stars *****

“Spellbinding… For My Crimes feels inherently like a chronicle of fading love, but it’s also a potent expression of femininity.” Long Live Vinyl
