River of Dirt


There's a simple equation to you hearing new Marissa Nadler which equals no cash out of you and one song into you. "River of Dirt" just premiered on Stereogum's Gum Drop and all you've got to do is sign up for the mailing list to receive it. If you really don't want to sign up, her new record Little Hells comes out on Kemado March 3. She told the Gum Drop that the song was essentially a stream of consciousness exercise with a bottle of wine to work out a nagging guitar melody. It turned into an upbeat piece with lapsteel sighs, clicking drum sounds, and Nadler's cold, echoed vocal. Don't forget she's opening for Deer Tick at the Iron Horse on Valentine's Day.
