Marrisa Nadler

Her music has been characterized as blending “traditional folk, Gothic Americana, and dreamy pop into an original musical framework”. Her music “is rooted in old-school country and folk but brings in elements of experimental and black metal”. Sometimes the term “dream folk” has been invoked to describe her work.

Singing in a mezzo-soprano, Nadler has received acclaim for her vocals. Her voice was described by Pitchfork as one “you would follow straight into Hades”, and also “textured and angelic, with just a hint of pain captured within her iridescent falsetto”. The Boston Globe said, “She has a voice that, in mythological times, could have lured men to their deaths at sea, an intoxicating soprano drenched in gauzy reverb that hits bell-clear heights, lingers, and tapers off like rings of smoke”.

Anand Wilder is best known as co-founder of the 00’s indie rock band Yeasayer. In 2022, Wilder released his post-Yeasayer debut solo album, I Don’t Know My Words, on Last Gang Records, largely heralded by the likes of Pitchfork, NPR Music, and NME for bringing to mind the acoustic

instrumentation and precise arrangements of Donovan, T. Rex, Aldous Harding, Elliott Smith and Fairport Convention.

His most recent project, Psychic Lessons (out 8/22 via LAST GANG), is a swirling indie-psychedelic pop journey blending lush textures and haunting melodies. Known for shaping the experimental pop sound of the 2010s, Wilder channels his boundary-pushing instincts into a cinematic solo vision. Fans of Yeasayer, Panda Bear, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Grizzly Bear will find a new obsession here.

The Lowest Pair

Doors open at 6pm Show at 6:45

The Lowest Pair has questions. The duo, made up of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, know that we tend to see duality as a problem. We want life to be linear, working through the dark to finally get to the light. Grief to joy, despair to hope, confusion to clarity––not a jangly cycle we can’t escape. But through their incandescent folk songs, the Lowest Pair often ask: What if we sit with the mess? What if that’s not just more peaceful, but more magical, too?

On their 8th album Always As Young As We’ll Ever Be, the Lowest Pair prove that over the last dozen years together, they’ve become some of modern roots music’s most mesmerizing, thoughtful purveyors. Produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists), the 10-track album puts the duo’s stark lyricism, string-driven arrangements, and raw compatibility on brilliant display and as a result, Always As Young As We’ll Ever Be pulses with life.

The Lowest Pair’s musicianship is another beautiful testament not just to playing that breathes, but playing that listens. Winter, who grew up in Arkansas but has lived in Washington State for the last two decades, and Lee, a Minnesota native, first gained attention as poetic singer-songwriters on banjos. While their family of strings has expanded, their fundamental approach hasn’t: Respond to sounds and stories the other is making.
