Nina Nastasia and Dirty Three's Jim White Team for LP
Nastasia tours UK; Dirty Three tour Europe
Since Dirty Three sticksman Jim White helped lay the rhythm on Nina Nastasia's past two solo albums and has long served in her live band (not to mention his work with a kajillion other folks), it's hardly surprising singer/guitarist Nastasia and drummer White have joined forces for a new album that will bear both their names.You Follow Me by Nina Nastasia & Jim White serves as the follow-up of sorts to last year's Nastasia disc On Leaving. It arrives August 14 in North America and May 28 elsewhere via FatCat Records, which Google still seems to think is a "hip British IDM label."
White and Nastasia recorded You Follow Me with stilts fetishist Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, and developed their compositions with help from Nastasia's partner Kennan Gudjonsson. The result sounds a bit like free jazz tugging at the seams of traditional folk.
Nastasia will Follow Adem and Richard Swift to a string of UK gigs next month. White won't be around, as he's touring Europe presently with Dirty Three. He also performs as part of Cat Power's Dirty Delta Blues band on her tour, which includes a stop at the rather nifty Pitchfork Music Festival.
