Pitchfork

Stevie Nicks is the first influence Marissa Nadler lists on her MySpace page, and it ain't hard to see why. Her long hair, flowing clothes, and music all fit the Nicks archetype pretty well, minus a little bit of the witchiness.

The unwitchy but still beguiling Nadler recently released her new album, Songs III: Bird on the Water, via Peacefrog Records in Europe. Now the Providence-based singer has signed to Kemado Records for an August 7 physical release of a slightly altered version of the album in the U.S. and Canada. Kemado also plans to set Bird aflight digitally this month.

Nadler will go her own way on tour starting tomorrow night in Helsinki. All of her current dates are in Europe for now, but Marissa plans to travel the U.S. West Coast in June. A full U.S. tour is in the works for August.
