Nina Nastasia: Dancer in New York

About Nina Nastasia

Nina Nastasia is a New York–associated performer and songwriter whose work sits between slowcore and anti-folk. She first drew broader notice when BBC Radio 1’s John Peel began airing songs from her debut, *Dogs*, and she came to prominence in New York City around 2000. Since then she has released records including *The Blackened Air*, *Run to Ruin*, and the Jim White collaboration *You Follow Me*. Her performances favor restraint and clear storytelling over spectacle.
