Marissa Nadler: Diamond Heart / Leather Made Shoes

Marissa Nadler - Diamond Heart / Leather Made Shoes

Review by Sam Lewis

On ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ Leonard Cohen sings as if writing a letter, ending the song with a doleful, “sincerely, L. Cohen”. I can imagine Marissa Nadler being the kind of girl Cohen would write to (I see it being early in the morning somewhere incandescent in New York, or perhaps, more realistically, a Tibetan retreat).»
