I've been listening to both Marissa Nadler and Stephen Brodsky for a number of years, and was instantly intrigued a month ago when it was announced that the two were collaborating on a record together. It seemed a strange pairing, but also made complete sense, especially when looking at the trajectory of Nadler's career over the last decade, starting with Americana steeped folk music and gradually getting darker and darker until reaching a kind of dark folk/black metal hybrid kind of thing. Anyway, when the "Droneflower" LP was announced, it was mentioned that the duo were covering Guns n' Roses' epic masterpiece "Estranged," probably my very favorite G n' R song ever. I wanted, no, needed to hear it. And thanks to a heads up from
Shawn, hearing it i am, and it's fucking fantastic, stripped down, dark, and haunting. Listen below, and if you haven't already, pre-order the record
here from Sacred Bones, out later this month.
