Marissa Nadler has shared the second single, “Hatchet Man”, off her upcoming album “New Radiations” out August 15th via Sacred Bones Records.

The video was directed by Marissa Nadler and she shared this about it:  “I made the video for ‘Hatchet Man’ using cut-out shadow figures, everyday objects, liquid light show techniques and self-shot footage, much of it projected through the soft glow of an old overhead projector. I wanted to create a surreal, crimson space for the song and its characters to live in, to tell the story without being too illustrative. This album is a particularly personal and intimate one in my body of work, and so shooting the video myself and in my own reality gives a special synchronicity to these visual accompaniments that I’m making for each of the songs.”

Nadler also shared this about the song: “Psychic vibrations and new radiations have taken their toll on me. My narrator (whether these are first person songs or not really depends on how you want to listen to them) is feeling stuck, depressed, and frozen in a world after a tough few years for the world. Regardless, the ‘psychic vibrations and new radiations’ take their toll. The cosmic darkness we live in creeps into the psyche, but the character reaches clarity. As the song unfolds, the screen shatters, the ice breaks, and a new world begins.”
