Nina Nastasia Artist Snapshot:

New York City-based singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia sets herself apart from other edgy female folk singers by creating a sonic world that is simultaneously dark and chilling, yet beautifully inviting. Her stunning 2000 debut, DOGS, was recorded by ace studio engineer Steve Albini, initiating a musical partnership that has held through all of Nastasia's subsequent albums. Nastasia continues to grow as an artist and songwriter, choosing to move away from more successful new-millennium chanteuses and more toward to the dark, soulful musical poetry of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen.

Review

Q (p.139) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]hese remain quintessential essays in minimal coffee-house Americana."
Uncut (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 - "DOGS measures up strikingly well to its legend....As a singer/songwriter who can describe heightened emotional states with an undemonstrative elegance, she has few contemporary equals."
CMJ (p.5) - "DOGS displays her dissonance-laced Americana in its early form..."

Title Note

Personnel: Nina Nastasia (vocals, guitar); Gerry Leonard (guitar); Joshua Carlebach (accordion); Kennan Gudjonsson (piano); Dave Richards (bass instrument); Peter Yanowitz (drums).

Recording information: Electrical Audio, Chicago, Illinois (2004).

Following the release of BLACKENED AIR and RUN TO RUIN, the steadily growing cult success of contemporary singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia led Touch and Go Records to reissue her first album, DOGS. Originally released on a tiny label in 1999, DOGS contains, in embryonic form, all the elements of Nastasia's better known later albums.

Over the course of 15 brief songs (only the tortured "Nobody Knew Her" breaks four minutes), Nastasia spins a litany of oddly titled but affecting lyrics about romance and darkness. Steve Albini's bare-bones production keeps the focus entirely on Nastasia's wounded but unflagging vocals, with the more ornate backing of her later albums largely absent.
