On her magnificent 2025 album New Radiations, Marissa Nadler utilizes a pinpoint-accuracy fingerpicking style, ethereal melodies and an otherworldly, breathy, mezzo-soprano voice to further establish herself as a one-of-a-kind musician. The blackened New England songbird, now a Nashvillian, has a bleakly poetic storytelling ability. Her lush signature style of noir folk — celestial and ominous — has impressed a lot of other musicians. Her incredible talents have led to collaborations with pop crooner Angel Olsen, Velvet Underground founder John Cale, harpist Mary Lattimore and ambient black metalist Xasthur. But Nadler’s strength remains in her personal approach to the songs. Like Nadler, Josephine Foster’s brand of simple organic music uses textures and nuances that make her hard to pin down. She has the charm of the Tin Pan Alley folkies paired with a penchant for sonic exploration, adding new tools to her skill set with each album.
