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)

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.

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.

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.
― scott seward, Friday, 23 February 2018 19:50 (six years ago) link
It really is her best thing. I love all of Nina's albums, but she and Jim worked so well together.

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

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.

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
― chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 16:10 (four years ago) link
Nooooooooo, this sucks, I hung with them both for an afternoon for a radio session/interview, Kennan was a lovely big bear of a dude.

A small piece of news - a (very) tiny interview on Velvet Sheep from Jun 30 - https://velvet-sheep.com/song-for-ewe/nina-nastasia-song-for-ewe/
“I have many more records in the works, so I’ll be getting back to music from this long hiatus. It’s where I’d like to stay for a long while again.”
Nina's classic song selection: "The song I love and never get sick of, isn’t obscure-ish. I don’t listen to a lot of music actually. Common People – Pulp"
Here's hoping things are going alright for Nina in New York.

i had no idea nina nastasia was so good! i loved dogs when it came out but never stayed listening to her subsequent albums, she got better and better! you follow me and outlaster are incredible. i wish someone would encourage her to write a stage musical tho lol, like a dark gothic brecht play with a zombie apocalypse.
― plax (ico), Sunday, 31 January 2021 17:39 (three years ago) link
Funny! Yes she is awesome- any reason why you stopped paying attention despite you loving the one album at the time?

oh probably a lot of reasons, like my focus shifting to club music (my 20s) and subsequent things i heard not having the same bright immediate ring of dogs. i think its probably a good thing as lots of the things i've been enjoying are shaped by subsequent things i've gotten interested in and i don't think i would have really appreciated this music in the same way if i'd heard it when it came out
― plax (ico), Monday, 1 February 2021 16:11 (three years ago) link
Outlaster came out more than a decade ago now. :(

This is a good idea. There's a big Brecht/Weill thing going on with Outlaster.

― stimmy stimmy yah (Simon H.), Monday, 1 February 2021 17:52 (three years ago) link
I miss anticipating her next record a lot, but after all these years, there's also an appeal to the tidiness of six albums so good I cant choose among them, evenly spaced over a specific decade, produced with the same raw sheen, as though there was a Felt-like manifesto she completed.
― Citole Country (bendy), Monday, 1 February 2021 18:36 (three years ago) link
i think she's got a new album coming out this year?
― plax (ico), Monday, 1 February 2021 19:11 (three years ago) link
She posted on her bandcamp in October that she was working on something and would try to get it out in the "next few months" but nothing has been announced yet.
Per what I said in 2018
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.― chr1sb3singer, Friday, February 23, 2018 1:49 PM (two years ago) bookmarkflaglink

― Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 1 February 2021 17:44 (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink
yes and a real one, not a plinky plonky campy pastiche where everyone has smeared kohl around their eyes, big knickers and a bowler hat! there's a great sense of theatricality, dark narratives richly colorful and the songs on outlaster in particular are so integrated with the arrangements im obsessed. Outlaster and you follow me are the two i like the most i think
― plax (ico), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 11:19 (three years ago) link
she's also an interesting guitar player and her playing is v important to you follow me, more than i expected as i feel like she's promoted so much as a 'songwriter'
― plax (ico), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 11:24 (three years ago) link
six albums so good I cant choose among them
I definitely have favorites among them, but they are all pretty great, and I love how each album really has its own identity. She has worked within the same basic indie-folk construct but done very different things with it sonically.

We polled them a year ago and there were a handful of clear favourites but her level of consistency is indeed remarkable:
Nina Nastasia: We Never POLLed
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:02 (three years ago) link
I've been really loving "Outlaster" recently, which I got when it came out and liked but it never really stuck with me and it has been the NN record I reach for the least, I probably haven't spun in 5 yrs or longer.
Anyway, it sounds great to me now.
