Marissa Nadler has shared a new single from her upcoming album New Radiations. The song “Hatchet Man” is out now via Sacred Bones and is accompanied by a music video that Nadler filmed and edited herself. Watch it below.

“‘Hatchet Man’ is about a sinister character bringing a woman home—not for romance, but to murder her—while the narrator, his partner, is made to witness it unfold,” Nadler said about the sinister song. “Ultimately, the storyteller escapes, adrenaline flooding her veins. The sweet, lilting melody of the chorus offers a stark contrast to the verses, where much of the tale is told. I enjoy twisting narratives, subverting tropes, and playing with perspective in my songs. The rest of the details are all in the song.”

“Hatchet Man” and New Radiations’ previously released title track both explore menacing themes. The songs are impactful, transcendental and discuss numerous intense scenarios. New Radiations will be Nadler’s tenth career studio record and is scheduled to be released on August 15. Pre-order a copy here.
