Marissa Nadler Biography
Marissa Nadler is an American musician and fine artist who is signed to Sacred Bones Records and Bella Union and is known for her eighth full-length studio album, For My Crimes which she released in September 2018.
She taught herself, as a teenager, to play guitar in a style similar to fingerpicking, to play a steady bass pattern with the thumb, and to fill syncopated rhythms with the index finger. It was described as having “unorthodox, dusky sound. She also started writing songs as a hobby while she was a teenager.
She also honed her songwriting skills while studying artistic techniques such as drawing, sculpture, bookbinding, wood carving, and encaustic sculpture.
