Found in: Music, FeaturesMarissa Nadler: The Sister
In life, there are cathartic moments through which we embrace our greater selves, exorcising the torrential past while divesting pain, stress and other emotional barriers. Indeed, self-actualization can be a blissful breakthrough, especially when those previous struggles are used to strengthen our resolve and trek into the unknown.

Marissa Nadler singing the word “radio” may be one of the music events of the year. On “The Sun Always Reminds Me of You,” a standout from her self-titled fifth album, she splits those three syllables in a way that makes the word sound startlingly new: something like “ray-adee-ohhhh,” although that transcription doesn’t come close to doing justice to her phrasing.
