Pitchfork

Occasionally we call something a "spring tour" when, in fact, it's just a string of dates that so happen to fall within the confines of the season. But spring, which sprung for reals and officials earlier this week, still has three months to go, and Marissa Nadler is touring through practically all of them.

She'll hit the Netherlands over the weekend, sweep across continental Europe through mid-April, break for just shy of a month, head back to Europe for a small spate of gigs-- including her appearance at the ATP vs. Pitchfork Festival in Rye, England-- and wrap things up with a brief North American run in June.

And, if that's not enough touring for you, there's also a date way way off in November in Nadler's Boston hometown. All that, plus she's reportedly working on the follow-up to 2007's heavenly Songs III: Bird on the Water and some covers of Judee Sill, Robbie Basho, and Elizabeth Cotten. Busy lady!
