Eternally ethereal singer Marissa Nadler dips deep into the dark spirits for her song inspirations but presents them as comforting moments and stories. Nadler's flirtation with the gothic seems to come from ghostly stories in the vein of Edgar Allen Poe and murder ballads. Marrissa's songs are atmospheric, austere, and starkly sincere. Marissa Nadler, and her accompanist Janel Leppin, brings her gorgeous, atmospheric folk to WFMU's love room.
