adrift Shoot me down in flames, but these are her best songs. Warm, fragile, reflective, dark and side-eyeingly funny... with glorious melodies. The universe feels a little more balanced once again. Favorite track: The Two of Us.

Justin Patrick Moore Anything new from Nina is a gift to be treasured, and I certainly treasure these songs. It's a privelege to listen to her here, alone with her guitar. It's like you're there in that cabin where it was recorded, with just a few friends, whose presence recedes into the background as the voice, lyrics, and playing transport you into a private world of beauty, pain, love and honesty. Favorite track: Lazy Road.

William Boyle Can’t imagine anything hitting harder. It’s raw & beautiful, a haunting portrait of someone simultaneously bleeding out & healing, of survival & endurance. Just brave as hell. Favorite track: Afterwards.

about

Riderless Horse is my first solo record, and it’s the first record my former partner, Kennan Gudjonsson, didn’t produce.

I haven’t made an album since 2010. I decided to stop pursuing music several years after my sixth record, Outlaster, because of unhappiness, overwhelming chaos, mental illness, and my tragically dysfunctional relationship with Kennan. Creating music had always been a positive outlet during difficult times, but eventually it became a source of absolute misery.

Kennan, a cat and I lived in a studio apartment in NYC for 25 years, finding ways to survive while making records and going on tours. Our apartment was the place where people would come stay, eat, drink, play music, and use our tub. It was quite a home we had created, but it was decaying steadily from the moment we moved in, and in the end, it was as if black mold was growing beneath the surface, undetected, and the two of us were dying and getting too weak to ever leave. We loved each other. We were each other’s family, but there was ongoing abuse, control and manipulation. We hid. We didn’t want anyone to see how ugly things could get, so we increasingly isolated from our friends and family. We were lost.

On January 26, 2020, I made the decision to separate and live apart, and on January 27, Kennan died by suicide. What a thing, suicide. I can only feel sadness and guilt about it. Maybe I’ll have other reactions to it later on.

Riderless Horse documents the grief, but it also marks moments of empowerment and a real happiness in discovering my own capability. Steve Albini produced this record with me, and Greg Norman assisted. The three of us are old friends, and we did a field recording in a guesthouse built like a lighthouse that two very dear friends of mine have in Esopus, NY. It was exactly the right environment to work on this record. We all had meals together, cried, laughed, and told stories. It was perfect. It made me realize how much I love writing, playing and recording music.

Terrible things happen. These were some terrible things. So, what to do – learn something valuable, connect with people, move the fuck out of that apartment, remember the humor, find the humor, tell the truth, and make a record. I made a record.
