Nineteen-73 Artists Promotions are very proud to present the first solo album Playgrounds Lost from Frequency Drift electric harpist and songwriter Nerissa Schwarz. 

Following a collaboration for her 2009  debut album under the moniker of Coronal Rain, Nerissa was invited to join the internationally acclaimed progressive rock band Frequency Drift as guest composer and musician for their 2011 release “Ghosts...”.  She soon became a band member and started contributing her own songs and unusual electric harp arrangements, which have become a trademark of Frequency Drift. So far, Nerissa has recorded five albums with the band and performed live in Germany, the UK (at the Summer's End Festival), the Netherlands and Italy.

In 2014 she began working on solo pieces and totally immersed herself in writing, experimenting, arranging, recording and producing the music. The result is her first solo album, Performed entirely on electric harp and mellotron, the album is a haunting exploration of the beauty, fragility and traumas of childhood. As it shifts between wistful pastoral moments and dark, uncanny textures, the music progresses from folk-like melodies to noise, from ambient soundscapes to intricate, impressionistic compositions.

The unconventional sound design and cinematic atmospheres of Playgrounds Lost make for an immersive listening experience. Imagine a stripped-down take on the music of early White Willow and classic Anglagard - with the same frosty, Scandinavian-style beauty.

NERISSA IS available for features and interviews. Reviewers and radio stations - please contact Stephen Lambe at Nineteen-73 Artist Promotions via [email protected] for further details.   Twitter: @1973promo
