Los Angeles singer-songwriter Lawrence Rothman has teamed up with Lucinda Williams for a new song, “Decent Man.” The track will be featured on Rothman’s upcoming sophomore album, out January 29th, 2021, via Kro Records.
Over a video of giant decaying busts of the U.S. presidents, Rothman and Williams sing of a country in despair and ruin. “The New York Times says the country’s gone up for sale,” Rothman muses, while Williams observes on the chorus, “We’re just a lifeless empty Midwest mall, the aftermath of a hot head playing god.

“For the Sun” opens in the most ominous way: by pairing former Cave In frontman Stephen Brodsky’s plodding, doom-rock guitar with gothy songstress Marissa Nadler’s icy vocals. It’s an eerie combination that becomes more complex and surreal as the song goes on, with grim harmony backup vocals and thick swirls of reverb. (The song’s credits have Nadler playing a “drill” in addition to handling vocals.) Throughout, Nadler keeps singing, “I want to help you but I don’t know how,” and that sort of anxious, unrequited desire defines “For the Sun.

Editors’ Pick: Jlin, Autobiography
“America’s most acclaimed new electronic composer scores a piece by choreographer Wayne McGregor with her cutting-edge synthetic textures and brain-blendering pinball beats,” writes Christopher R. Weingarten. “Allowed to stretch, she explores a dripping, hard-panning, evocative ambient music made of bamboo clanks, tubular bells, ticking clocks, birds, bugs and splashing water.”

Marissa Nadler has some thoughts on the word “haunting.”
“I think it does a little bit of a disservice to my music to describe it as just haunting, because there’s a lot of substance in the writing and craft,” the 37-year-old musician says over the phone from her home in Boston.
The adjective pops up frequently around Nadler’s work, occasionally substituted out for “haunted,” “macabre,” “spooky” or “ghostly.” It’s easy to see why, considering Nadler’s preference for singing in a soft mezzo-soprano over finger-picked, heavily reverbed minor chords.
