Approach Run to Ruin like a bottle of whiskey on a solitary night on the porch-in slow, successive sips, letting the rich, oaken taste and luxurious loneliness of her dark-waltz country music make themselves known. Nastasia’s voice, alternately rough-hewn and sweetly high, is laced with deep languorous string strains. The ominous shimmering shiver in “I Say That I Will Go”‘s heavy waltz-step builds into a slow-churning dissonance, while her low moan in “You Her And Me” matches up with those of the cello. In “The Body,” Nastasia’s voice turns through phrases like a leaf touching down briefly on the ground before whisking up and away into an isolated, intense twister.
