The Saga of Mayflower May

by Marissa Nadler

Recorded in a remarkably short time frame, the American songwriter's sophomore album deepens her gothic, atmospheric approach to traditional folk. The minimalist arrangements consist almost entirely of Nadler's intricate acoustic fingerpicking and her ghostly, reverb-drenched vocals, conjuring dark, romantic narratives rooted in timeless Americana.
