The third album by singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia deepens and refines the southern gothic influences of its predecessor THE BLACKENED AIR, creating a sound that's akin to an alt-country version of Flannery O'Connor's dark tales of sin and redemption. Similar in tone to the Handsome Family, Bonnie Prince Billy, and Tom Waits, these eight lengthy songs fairly crackle with novelistic lyrical detail amidst sparse, desolate musical soundscapes.
Recorded at Black Box Studio, Noyatte La Gravoyere, France.
Personnel: Nina Nastasia (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Gerry Leonard (guitar, banjo, hammer dulcimer); Dylan Willemsa (violin, viola); Stephen Day (cello); Joshua Carlebach (accordion, piano); Anne Mette Iversen (upright bass); Dave Richards (electric bass); Jim White (drums).
Recording information: Black Box, Noyant Lagravoyere, France (06/2002); Looking Glass, New York, NY (06/2002).
Unknown Contributor Roles: Iain Burgess; Peter Deimel; Héctor Castillo.
Award WinnerRolling Stone (8/21/03, p.73) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Producer Steve Albini serves up a stark, stately sound that's sometimes punctuated by hurricanes of strings and percussion. What gives the album life, though, is Nastasia's airy, intimate voice..."
Uncut (6/03, p.128) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Spare, beautiful, outstanding..."
CMJ (6/2/03, p.6) - "...Nastasia is the tender voice that coos across the same bumpy desert terrain that Tom Waits and Devendra Banhart amble over so noisily..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/03, p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...These eight sparse songs each have a novel embedded deep within..." Nina Nastasia Run To Ruin Songs | 1. | We Never Talked |

Run To Ruin album
$13.35
Gudibrallan's biggest claim to fame is that their debut, Uti Var Hage, from 1970, was the first album released by Sweden's premier progressive rock label, Silence Records, whose roster soon included better-known acts like Trad Gras Och Stenar, Bo Hansson, and Samla Mammas Manna, among others. T-Doja reissues that record and Gudibrallan's only other LP, from 1972, on one CD with a bonus track. Of the above-mentioned groups, Gudibrallan adheres most closely to the sound of Trad Gras Och Stenar, channeling a similar mix of hippy looseness and punk attitude, albeit in a more conventional rock context with less of the locked-riff mantra jamming that Trad Gras is known for. They make up for it with faster playing and upping the energy several notches, even when they manage to blend Swedish folk music into tracks like "Visa Om Jungfrun" and "Handgranat Och Bajonett." Otherwise it's deranged garage rock on the progressive side, sung in Swedish and played with reckless abandon and infectious enthusiasm, especially on pieces like their radical remake of "Hey Joe" (retitled "Hej Gud" ["Hey God" in English]). Their music may not be quite as original as Trad Gras or Samla Mammas, but it certainly merits hearing for those venturing beyond the borders of Krautrock. ~ Rolf Semprebon
