SHADOW WALKER

Delicate woman plays delicate folk

Neo-folkster Marissa Nadler seems to hover off the stage, crowing intimacies with lilting precision. Her voice equals the blissful power and range of Neko Case when she raises it past a murmur, which is rarely; this RISD-trained painter is learning how to evoke with less and less. She shades her fanciful country-tinged fingerpicking with devastating gothic foreboding—spin "Annabelle Lee" off her 2004 debut, Ballads of Living and Dying, to know anguished cousin-lovin' the way Edgar Allan Poe always meant it to be heard.
