With a glut of new releases this week, this will be a two-parter. Album of the Week : Artist : Marissa Nadler Album : Strangers Quick Description : Latest album from the dark folkie. Why You Should Listen : Nadler is criminally underrated. Overall Thoughts : I don't know exactly when Strangers truly clicked for me, but it was midway through when I realized that this was a definite step up from her previous album and as good as anything else she's put out.

Will this be her breakthrough? I hope so, but this is a solid listen nonetheless. Recommendation : A great listen, best of the week.
