Ep. #998: Nina Nastasia

Nina Nastasia is here to discuss Songs for a World of Trouble, how she wound up living in Seattle and why she prefers coastal states, why her new album is currently only available on Bandcamp and not on streaming services, the strangeness of the current cultural economy, the lovely book of artwork, poems, stories, and lyrics that complements this record, making her first album without Steve Albini, inspiration from Will Oldham, touring with Mogwai, playing shows with Jolie Laide, other future plans, and much more.
