Marissa Nadler reunites with Lost Horizons for new song "Marie"

27 January 2021, 14:21 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Lost Horizons are back with another preview of their In Quiet Moments album, this time teaming up with Marissa Nadler for "Marie".

"Marie" marks Lost Horizons' second release of 2021 after Ural Thomas collaboration "In Quiet Moments" that landed earlier this month.

The new track arrives with a video created by Nadler, with editing and direction by Penelope Isles’ Jack Wolter.

Lost Horizons say of their new outing, "I don't think there was ever a second I wasn't going to find a song for Marissa to sing on the new lp. SO much cool stuff came out of our last collaborations on Ojalá, indeed I think we ended up recording four songs from the original idea of doing one! Marissa is a really great & generous collaborator as she really throws herself in deep and commits to it fully. That is a rare and beautiful gift and Richie and I appreciate it enormously."

They add, "It was a beast of a track to mix I’ll be honest, and that had nothing to do with Marissa's vocals, in fact they were a breeze to mix. But the initial music that Richie and I improvised in our basement studio in Brighton was a bit messy and we didn't use a click or anything to keep tempo so fixing anything later was a lost cause, but it is such a cool piece that I loved creating (I think i put 4 maybe 5 bass parts on with my old trusty Fender VI string bass guitar!) that even when it's kinda falling apart during that instrumental section near the end, I still love it. It probably sounds like it took half an hour to mix but the truth is it took weeks of starting it, scrapping it, starting over, scrapping it, etc. And yes, I fully intend to ask Marissa to contribute to our next one too."

In Quiet Moments, which will follow 2017's Ojalá, will also feature previous outings "One For Regret" featuring Porridge Radio, "Grey Tower" featuring Tim Smith of Midlake, John Grant collaboration "Cordelia" and "I Woke Up With An Open Heart" featuring The Hempolics.

"Marie" featuring Marissa Nadler is out now. Lost Horizons' In Quiet Moments album will be released in full on 26 February 2021 via Bella Union, and is available to pre-order now.
