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):

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.
― akm, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 15:34 (nine years ago) link
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....
― Wu-Tang Clannad (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 7 January 2015 16:07 (nine years ago) link
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)

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.

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.

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
― pg13tentacion (unregistered), Sunday, 30 July 2017 20:32 (six years ago) link
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.
― koogs, Monday, 31 July 2017 15:02 (six years ago) link
wow that song in the video is stunning

― I'm make-believe. (jed_), Tuesday, 1 August 2017 00:18 (six years ago) link
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

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)

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

is FatCat Records still a thing? went and visited my brother last summer in Hudson, NY and walked by a spot that had a FatCat sign in the window. which was weird. i guess someone from the label moved to Hudson.
