Her only NYC appearance, Marissa Nadler is a master of creating rich dreamscape atmospheres. Her voice shines and glides even more with a full band accompanying her. Produced by Chris Coady, the starry musical guests on her latest "Little Hells" include longtime collaborator Myles Baer, Simone Pace (Blonde Redhead), and Dave Scher (Farmer Dave). Few contemporary artists can match the stunning ride of Marissa's reverb vocals that are a journey into themselves on every rose tinged track. Little Hells displays a brighter leap in musical maturity and attention to detail, as the fantasmagoric sounds delve into melancholy nuggets, sometimes erotic, sometimes gutting, but filled with a gorgeous sense of serene hope more so than previous album, Songs III: Bird on the Water.

Meg Baird is songwriting in its purest form. Honest, captivating and oozing emotion. Perhaps best known as the founding member and vocalist of Espers, Meg Baird has recorded and toured not only with Espers, but also solo and with The Baird Sisters. Her latest solo full lenght, Dear Companion, got a 7.8 Pitchfork review along with praise like "For these deeply intimate recordings, Baird has clearly chosen songs that she knows inside and out, and is so able to treat each with an overriding empathy and affection. Her faith in this material helps give Dear Companion its easy air of self-assurance, but most often it is her astonishing voice that draws the attention."
