Marissa Nadler Covers Elliott Smith’s "Pitseleh" on New EP

Back in February, Marissa Nadler released her great album July. Now, Nadler is releasing Before July, a collection of demos and unreleased songs from the July sessions. The digital-only release is out today via Sacred Bones. Update: Bella Union will release it internationally.

Before July includes demos for two unreleased tracks, “Leave The Light On” and “The Rose City”. The latter provided the lyrical inspiration for July album tracks “Drive” and “Holiday In”, according to a press release. The EP also includes Nadler’s cover of Elliott Smith’s “Pitseleh”, which she initially performed at a Brooklyn tribute show for the late songwriter last year. Check out the tracklisting below.
