Last we heard from Nadler, she was soaring through The Path of the Clouds (2021), and its companion EP, The Wrath of the Clouds (2022). Now, on her tenth official full length record, she returns with a raw, intimate, and breathtaking collection of eleven otherworldly songs. From the first note, Nadler’s lush voice and intricate fingerpicking are front and center. She layers Everly Brothers-style harmonies over dreamlike, lonesome soundscapes, fuzzed‑out distortion, Hammond organ, and ominous synthesizers that elevate her warm vulnerability with texture and atmosphere. Each track unfolds like a vignette of a life lived, delivering emotional weight that resonates with quiet intensity. Lyrically, she shape-shifts through time and space, inhabiting characters in an airborne Cessna, a spaceship, a getaway car, and alternate dimensions. Her storytelling is cinematic in scope and deeply personal in impact. Produced by Nadler herself and mixed by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn O)))), New Radiations features subtle arrangements from longtime collaborator Milky Burgess — woozy slide guitar, hypnagogic synthesizers, and gritty riff that ebb and flow with oceanic intensity. Genre‑bending yet quintessentially her own, this album freezes the world’s noise in a moment of beauty and solemnity.
