an introduction to one of the major figures in the current folk revival. a taster for her peacefrog debut album 'song 3: bird on the water'. marissa's music is dreamy and spectral: an amalgam of traditional folk, paisley underground, shoegaze and dream pop. almost all of the songs are very sad - about broken hearts, death, or simple burdens. her voice is what most people immediately respond to, with the writing and playing yielding a slow burn subtlety. excelling at a john fahey-esque finger-picking technique, she plays homage to some of the great early american blues players. she sings songs of the sea, the haunting chansons of maidens, the cowboy ditties of ranchers, and the funerary processions of mourners. the eerie quality of her atmospheric music gives her songs a timelessness and sadness that is often described as otherworldly. limited to 500 copies.
