It\u2019s 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\u2019s credits have Nadler playing a \u201cdrill\u201d in addition to handling vocals.) Throughout, Nadler keeps singing, \u201cI want to help you but I don\u2019t know how,\u201d and that sort of anxious, unrequited desire defines \u201cFor the Sun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About halfway through the three-and-a-half\u2013minute song, which will appear on their upcoming collaborative album, <em>Droneflower<\/em>, it sound as if it will turn into a full-on heavy-metal onslaught \u2014 which isn\u2019t out of the question, considering the screamathons Brodsky used to record with Cave In and Nadler\u2019s own dark entries \u2014 but they pull back just in time to make it strange and beautiful (and a little scary, thanks to some funhouse slide whistle). Perhaps the most otherworldly thing about the song is the absence of drums and percussion; it\u2019s simply guided by the grinding sound of guitar picks agitating strings. There\u2019s one point toward the end of the song where they seem to miss a beat \u2014 maybe on purpose, maybe not, but it\u2019s nevertheless unnerving \u2014 making for the most stressful moment of song that\u2019s already a nail biter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/marissa-nadler-stephen-brodsky-for-the-sun-808104\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFor the Sun\u201d opens in the most ominous way: by pairing former Cave In frontman Stephen Brodsky\u2019s plodding, doom-rock guitar with gothy songstress Marissa Nadler\u2019s icy vocals.
