The world of music thrives on unexpected partnerships, especially when visionary artists collide. Take Marissa Nadler and Seattle musician Milky Burgess, a pairing that has recently illuminated a fascinating collaborative history filled with haunting melodies and creative synergy.

Last year marked another chapter in their musical journey, as the pair joined forces to create The Bloody Gardener, an EP that showcased their unique blend of sound.

Their collaboration extended beyond simple songwriting. Burgess not only contributed to the creative vision but also provided crucial instrumental arrangements, alongside handling the recording and engineering for Nadler’s acclaimed album, New Radiations.

This foundational work established a deep respect for each other’s artistic voices, setting the stage for future musical explorations. The synergy between them proved that sometimes, the most powerful sounds emerge from shared creative space.

Now, this dynamic duo is reigniting their collaborative spirit with a new project. They are teaming up once more to tackle a timeless classic, delivering a soulful cover of Buddy Killen’s iconic hit, “Forever.”

This latest venture brings the history and depth of their previous work into a fresh, compelling context. It’s a testament to how lasting musical connections can inspire new, exciting creative endeavors.
