Nina Nastasia: 'What She Doesn't Know' (Fat Cat) Our Brian is pretty moved by this woman, so much so he doesn't know whether he's more besotted by her than PJ Harvey. On the A side she does her gentle strum and hum (sings actually). I can see Brian's spine melt into a pool of ectoplasm as I write. The flip contains some nice shuffling, percussive drums. The tracks are short sweet and to the point. Quality, if you like her warm brand of Americana.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Following last year’s stunning ‘You Follow Me’ album collaboration with Jim White, Nina Nastasia’s brand new limited edition 7” (500 copies) features two exclusive tracks recorded with Steve Albini at the time of Nina’s 2006 album ‘On Leaving’ album, intended at the time for a separate, future release.
•The release of this 7” just in time for a brief Spring European tour, with more dates to follow in May.
•Both tracks on this AA side single feature the same pared-down instrumentation (drums, guitar and vocal), each recorded with a different drummer. Drums on the explosively emotive ‘Your Red Nose’ are handled once again by the incomparable Jim White, drummer of choice for a host of acts such as Will Oldham, Smog, PJ Harvey, Dirty Three and Nick Cave to name but a few. ‘What She Doesn’t Know’ features Jay Bellerose, who also appears on Nina’s albums ‘The Blackened Air’ and ‘On Leaving’
