Marissa Nadler has unveiled “Light Years”, the last preview of her new album New Radiations, due this Friday, August 15 via Sacred Bones. The track follows last month’s cosmic murder ballad “Hatchet Man”, and trades bloodstained narratives for something equally devastating: the slow fade of a once-vivid love. Real uplifting stuff for a Tuesday morning.
Due this Friday, New Radiations marks Nadler‘s tenth full-length album and sees her return with a raw, intimate set of eleven otherworldly tracks. Self-produced and recorded in Nashville — at Haptown Studios with Roger Moutenot, and in her own home studio — the record leans deep into her signature world of lush vocals and intricate fingerpicking, layered with Everly Brothers-style harmonies, Hammond organ, ominous synths, and fuzzed-out distortion.
Longtime collaborator Milky Burgess adds woozy slide guitar, hypnagogic synth textures, and riffs that swell like a rising tide, while Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Earth) handles the mix. Pre-orders are available here. You can also catch Nadler at one of her many tour dates below, which now includes an entire 2026 North American tour. Get your tickets here.
