NINA NASTASIA & JIM WHITE - Nina's STEVE ALBINI recorded follow up to the acclaimed 'On Leaving', much anticipated collaboration with DIRTY THREE's Jim White (the first collaboration that has ever had his name on the record), fitting in nicely with the Dirty Three curated ATP. 'You Follow Me' is stripped back yet further to just a two-piece (drums, guitar, vocal), making this a fantastically focused record - a taut, raw document of two incredible musicians in deep dialogue, exploring the boundaries of song form to find a rare and striking complement. 'You Follow Me' is once again a vehicle for Nina's rare gift of a voice, and her concise, hook laden songwriting, surrounding themes of love, longing and loss, childhood, dreams and human dramas. Augmented by peerless drummer JIM WHITE (DIRTY THREE), it is nevertheless a very different record, and one that documents two musicians at the height of their powers, somewhere between a duel and a dance. With Nina's extraordinary voice able to swoop and turn on a dime, to shift from a langorous, breathy trail to beautifully emotive peals or a bloodied howl, Jim's highly inventive playing is simultaneously loose and lithe, intensely tight, testing and marking out the spaces around things.

Of this collaboration, Nina states plainly, "it was Jim's idea". White proposed the concept to Nastasia whilst the two were preparing to record Nina's recent ‘On Leaving’ album. Playing low-profile gigs together in out-of-the-way haunts in Brooklyn and Chicago, there was something so unusual and affecting about the way the songs came out that Jim felt it could make a compelling record. Whilst Jim had headed back to Melbourne for the summer, Nina took time to decide. Considering she had other ideas for the tunes they had been playing, she figured, "it made more sense to sit down and make something from scratch with our thing in mind". So that's what she did.
