Gut ein Vierteljahr nach der mit üppigem Gästeaufgebot eingespielten LP “The Path of the Clouds” erscheint Marissa Nadlers ähnlich betitelte und so wie ein interessanter Appendix wirkende EP “The Wrath of the Clouds”, die einmal mehr unter Mitwirkung von Amber Webber, Milky Burgess und Joshua Grange entstanden ist und die Mixtur aus folkigem Songwriting und einem Fundament aus tendenziell poppigen Synthies weiterführt. Das digitale Release enthält neben drei weiteren Songs aus dem Entstehungszeitraum des Albums zwei Coverversionen, namentlich den Ohrwurm “Seabird” der Alessi Brothers (1976) und Sammi Smith’ “Saunders Ferry Lane” (1977). Die EP erscheint Anfang Februar über Sacred Bones.

“The Wrath of the Clouds is a new five song EP from Marissa Nadler featuring two covers and three previously unreleased tracks written during the same period as her critically lauded album from 2021, The Path of the Clouds. This period was a fruitful and prolific time for Nadler and after mixing and mastering last years’ full length that featured guest appearances from Emma Ruth Rundle, Mary Lattimore, and Amber Webber to name a few, Nadler rediscovered a few songs she had written during this time and said it felt like “like uncovering lost gems that I had forgotten about.” She thought they fit together sonically and conceptually with the two cover songs she had been eagerly waiting to record so she went back to the studio and the result is a beautiful release as rich and essential as its predecessor.” (Sacred Bones)
