On today’s episode of Ambient Country, host of the band SUSS is joined by Portland, Oregon guitarist Marisa Anderson to discuss her influences as well as her recent releases for the Across the Horizon music series. Marisa brings an eclectic playlist of music including Nicolas Jaar, Charlie Parr, Nils Okland, Dirty Three, Gustavo Santaolalla, and many more.
You can listen to the music recommended on this show on Spotify, Amazon Music, or BNDCMPR.
We’ve recommended Marisa Anderson on Flow State twice before. We’re listening to two new records from 2024 and revisiting a past favorite. Swallowtail, from May ‘24, is a rollicking collaboration with Australian drummer Jim White (who accompanied Anderson on the pair’s 2020 record, The Quickening). Then we’re playing Music from ‘A Perfect Day for Caribou’, the film score that’s a baker’s dozen of 1-2 minute guitar instrumentals. Finally we’re revisiting Anderson’s 2021 collaboration with fellow guitarist William Tyler, a doleful LP called Lost Futures.

Have a great Wednesday.
I can't wait to listen to this one !
I saw Marisa opening for Godspeed You! Black Emperor here in Lille, France & loved how she approaches playing live: It's both quite casual (like playing to friends around a campfire) & spiritual (she tells stories about how songs were created & their (deep) meanings).
And she definitely fills the room just with her guitar & presence !
Thx for checking this one out!
This was a beautiful and surprising episode. Marisa’s music has meant a lot to me in recent years and she is an incredible inpairation.
Thx!
What a wonderful way to spend an hour or two on this earth .. thanks so much Bob
