Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded by Steve Albini, Nina Nastasia's fourth album is a stark, dark, and stunningly beautiful work. 'Run to Ruin' is a somber and often dissonant collection of chamber folk, featuring her powerful, crystalline voice and acoustic guitar accompanied by a string quartet. The arrangements are tense and suspenseful, creating an ominous and deeply melancholic atmosphere for her cryptic, poetic lyrics.
