Gothic folk artist Marissa Nadler will be performing in Boston tomorrow, December 8th, in support of her newest LP, For My Crimes. Nadler, signed to Sacred Bones Records, delivers the delicate and haunting songwriting fans have come to expect with a new stripped-down feeling.

Inspired by the isolation of life on the road, she sets listeners up for this introspective release right from the first track singing, “I’ve done terrible things, cold and careless lies, you can watch behind the glass as I pass through serpentine.” She takes a step away from the dreamy personas of her past work to create a confessional and deeply personal reflection on a marriage in decline. Even sonically, Nadler seems to take a more grounded and direct approach. Hypnotic harmonies and delicate finger-picked guitars still propel her writing but without the heavy reverb which colored her past albums. There is also a new sense of urgency behind her writing in this release. Tracks like “Blue Vapor” and “All Out of Catastrophes” especially are insistent and pulling from the get-go with strong drum lines and intense vocals. On tracks like “I Can’t listen to Gene Clark Anymore” Nadler pulls  from old-school country and folk ballads in the vein of Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt with a modern twist. A cheeky and self-aware kind of humor shines through in lines like, “You said I live for tragedy so I threw the keys at your head.” Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Patty Schemel (of Hole), and Kristin Kontrol (of Dum Dum Girls) also lend their talents for vocal and instrumental cameos on the record. For My Crimes paints a dynamic portrait of the end of a relationship, from subtle moments of heartbreak, to big blowouts.
