Nadler writes strange, yet classic, melancholy songs. Her voice is often bathed in a wash of reverb and space echo and creates a ghostly, atmospheric feeling to the music.
She has American Gothic leanings; her songs often take place in an imagined, idealistic time with a cast of characters of her own creation. Her links to American Gothic are reinforced by Annabelle Lee, the last song on her debut album, Ballads of Living and Dying, which puts the poem of the same title by Edgar Allan Poe to a musical backing. Singing in a haunting mezzo-soprano, the foundation of her songs are her delicate 6-string acoustic guitar, often accompanied by variety of instruments, including electric guitar, theremin, and piano. Marissa Nadler is continuously thought of as a prolific and thoughtful musician, and it seems that a neverending flow of beautiful songs pours from her fingers and voice.

Leave the Light On
by Marissa Nadler
Last thing that I said to you
in the driveway muttering profane
'I never want to see your face again' (repeats)
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on
In case you're coming back
Change my heart and count the days
All I remember all I remember is 'we'
Things fall to pieces
Hold the reasons for another day
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on (repeats)
In case you're coming back
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on (repeats)
In case you're coming back
I saw your car in the street
I saw you looking back
Why does everything end up like that?
I saw your car in the street
I saw you looking back
Why does everything wind up like that?
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on (repeats)
In case you're coming back
