NINA NASTASIA

via FB (from September)

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.
Connect with Fitcher’s Bird on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
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.

Best news I've heard in a while!

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.

FINALLY.

SO EXCITED

i saw her & jim white on the you follow me tour

i felt kinda bad cuz i bought the vinyl and there was a guy behind me that was waiting to buy the vinyl and mine ended up being the last copy they had brought on tour

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

is this the same as the "Mix with the Masters" thing they did at that French chateau studio?? or at Electrical?

This is excellent news.
Listening to Dogs a lot recently. All Your Life ruins me.

Different session. She's done a few different sessions that haven't seen the light of day. I'm excited but until I see a release date I'm not exactly holding my breath. I mean I saw her playing new songs in 2012.

saw xylouris white last night and when he came in the store today i had to ask him about nina. he's really proud of the album they made together and wants to see it get out there again.

It really is her best thing. I love all of Nina's albums, but she and Jim worked so well together.

i don't know anything about Daniel Knox, but:

Nina's longtime partner Kennan Gudjonsson killed himself, so tragic

Moving tributes from Steve Albini and Tim Midgett

That’s awful — I feel terrible for Nina, moreso considering Albini’s comments that she’s been dealing with her own health issues. Which I’d never heard about before but might explain her lack of releases this past decade.

It sounds like he’d been her constant companion for a couple decades, so I hope she has strong support around her.

that's really sad. RIP.

Horrible news. RIP.

I had an incredibly brief encounter with Kennan & can attest that he was very much as advertised (and more) in Steve & Tim's posts, just heart breaking

I spun Dogs & the Blackened Air & Run to Ruin last night and man those fucking records
