NINA NASTASIA

anyone have a spare vinyl copy of 'you follow me' lying around?

I've been looking for one for ages (at a "reasonable" cost) myself.

come on, four years. enough is enough.

^^^

No artists today, or very few have a real vibe, a real mystique, or something I can't ever quite articulate or explain correctly... Nina is one...

otm

there are so many artists who really strain for a mysterious presence or mystique and she just has it without even reaching out for it, it's just part and parcel of her lyrics and singing and guitar playing.

no news on a new album, but it's funny how she and Kennan keep making cameos in Will Oldham videos (even though they've never sang together afaik):

*sung

Weird I listened to Dogs last night for the first time in forever

Seeing this kinda makes me wish Nina would get into acting (as well as making music obviously)

god please don't ever have nina duet with bonnie dumbbell...

she does in that video above. unless that's someone else.

it's someone else. she's lip synching, just like she's lip-synching here. weird how they shot two different videos for two different versions of that song.

I like Will Oldham, but a Bonnie/Nina duet album would not be a high point in either of their discographies, and he's done enough throwaway collaborations as it is.

on spotify if you go to her artist page there's a single there from 2008, two songs that appear to be from the Jim White/You Follow Me sessions called "What She Doesn't Know" and "Your Red Nose"

really good stuff, two new Nina songs you might not have heard, at least I hadn't....

there are also non-album tracks on singles on cry cry baby and you can take your time off outlaster

apparently she doesn't know how to write a non-excellent song these are all great

the (4 or 5) peel sessions are full of things that aren't on the records. the one mp3 blog that was sharing them got asked to take them down, i've heard, ahead of an official release. but this was years ago and nothing ever appeared.

(repeating myself, sorry)

Dear all,
Another me has been sewing. It has come to this: couture clothing for girls, made in New York.
I hope you will have a look and share your thoughts.

Stay with me here for music. There is new work underway.

interesting, I didn't know that about her

Arrrgh

heavy absence

brutal

i was getting a little worried that she had quietly retired or something, but I think she's just a very private person who's taken a break. I'm just glad to hear she's working on music, I doubt she'd say something if there wasn't anything in the works.

snoopy come home

Pleeeeeease.

She made an album with Albini? I'm sure I saw pictures a couple of years ago

she made ALL her albums with albini.

Sure but I saw online somewhere that she had been recording with him again and I seem to recall a pic from a couple of years ago of a stone wine cellar repurposed as a recording studio.

scroll up, September 17 2014, a schlump post

instagram hashtag search reveals she performed at the Guggenheim Museum in November, but it looks like just a one-off performance of a song she wrote for the event (ctrl+F Nastasia here):

excellent sleuthing, nomar! I was beginning to worry she'd lost her muse, but this song has an emotional heft that was frustratingly absent from her children's fashion designs

She's playing the Electrical Audio 20th/Hideout Block party in Chicago in September. Seems like she's recorded some stuff over the yrs that hasn't seen the light of day.

a lot of the peel session songs never appeared anywhere else. there was talk of a compilation of those (based on a takedown notice on a website that had shared a bunch of them) but i've not heard anything since.

wow that song in the video is stunning

It's a bit skreechy for me.

the prerecorded backing vocals don't really work for me, but otherwise I love it

I'd like to see a compilation of her Peel sessions in their entirety, rather than just the unreleased material. the session with Huun Huur Tu is one of my favorite live performances from any artist

Nina Nastasia played The Hideout in Chicago a couple weeks back!!

Rumblings of an album, fingers crossed

give us a triple album Nina!

I missed that last revive, but it looks like she debuted a few new songs at the Hideout festival (not included in the video nomar posted)

Little Fool
White Oak
Old Goat

my heart leaps every time this thread is bumped, can't wait to listen

jim white just told me that nina recorded an album with albini and jeff parker. that fabled day has come!

also jim thinking of labels that would want to reissue You Follow Me which has been out of print forever. i told him i thought drag city might be the way to go.

hallelujah!!

Yay! And I had no idea You Follow Me is out of print, that's a crime and a shame.

She recorded with Parker and Longberg-Holm and a few other folks back in September with Steve.

Yeah I've been looking for a copy of You Follow Me forever. Never seen one.

You can get used CDs of it p cheap on Amazon. Vinyl is pricey tho.
