Nina Nastasia is a singer and songwriter who has created a distinctive, emotionally powerful body of work that has roots in folk and Americana, but with a dark, Gothic sensibility. Nastasia's performances are built around her acoustic guitar, with arrangements that use spare string sections and minimalistic, dynamic percussion to complement her lyrics, which are intensely personal and unpretentiously literate, as her vocals strike a balance between delicacy and strength. 2002's The Blackened Air displayed the full range of her talent and the unique sound she and her accompanists conjured in the studio. She found a valuable musical ally in Jim White, and they created a collaborative LP, 2007's You Follow Me, centering on their creative interplay. After stepping away from music for over a decade, she returned in 2022 with Riderless Horse, a spare guitar-and-vocal set created in the wake of a major personal upheaval.
