During the first decade of this century, Nina Nastasia created truly exceptional music. The six albums that she released over that period contained songs of stark simplicity and beauty that always felt a little disturbing. And then, after the release of the difficult Outlaster, she disappeared. Now and again, I would look for any Nina Nastasia related news, but there would be nothing. No news. And now, following a decade of mental abuse and personal trauma, she is back with a new album. Could be the best thing to happen in 2022.
