Nina Nastasia :: Ocean
2002
Chicago in the winter: the sun had died a terrible death: the only warmth in the whole world was emanating from WLUW’s radio tower: traffic and ice slowed the city to a crawl: a song whispered out of my car stereo that all at once soothed and saddened: I pulled into the alley and stopped the car: I listened with my eyes closed: the song ended: I finally let go of my breath: I rattled into the house: “I just heard the most amazing song, but I don’t know what it is or who it’s by”: Ocean: Nina Nastasia: amazing.

Gosh, this is beautiful. Of note for completists, this record was also recorded by Steve Albini, who seems to be a kind of patron saint of our website…
