There’s nothing new about songwriters coming to Middle Tennessee, but very few of them have the material in their quiver quite like Marissa Nadler. While she made her home in Massachusetts, Nadler released eight solo albums in her extraordinary style of Joni Mitchell-meets-Lydia Lunch noir folk — simultaneously celestial and ominous — along with other projects, including ones with collaborators ranging from composer and Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale to black metal neo-folkist Xasthur. Last October, she released the mesmerizing The Path of the Clouds, her first LP made in her new Nashville home studio, followed early this year by the companion EP The Wrath of the Clouds.
