New York City singer/songwriter Nina Nastasia creates informal, ghostly music that evokes some deep in thought, skew cause on Americana and that is oft laced with haunting strains of genus Viola, violoncello, and bowed saw. She counts among her admirers the notoriously fussy, celebrated producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies), world Health Organization engineered her number 1 two albums and wHO has vehemently song her praises. Nastasia's debut, Dogs, was released in 1999 on the lilliputian indie Socialist Records, just was out of print by the death of 2000. For April 2002's The Blackened Air, she signed with Touch and Go, which released her followup recording, Operate to Ruin, in 2003 (also recorded by Albini) and a reissue of Dogs in summer 2004. Though she unbroken the rest of her transcription partners (which let in Albini and drummer Jim White [Dirty Three]) the same, Nastasia stirred to Fat Cat for 2006's On Leaving and 2007's You Follow Me, the latter a songwriting quislingism with some other Jim White, this time of the Southern gothic singer/songwriter multifariousness.
