NINA HYNES

Fresh from a tour of the East Coast of America, appearances with STEREOLAB, CAT POWER, and DAVID GRAY, electro-alternative act NINA HYNES, is heading back into the studio to begin work on the act's eagerly anticipated first album proper.

The band's debut mini-album, "CREATION" not only received great reviews in Ireland, but America and Europe warmly embraced it. Although only select markets in America have been exposed to it, the release received strong support from both radio and press there. It finally gets an American release in November 2000.

Amazon.com listed CREATION as No. 44 in their TOP 100 RELEASES OF 1999, beating out Sparklehorse, Pavement, David Bowie, Stereolab, Underworld and Tindersticks. The Austin Chronicle described the band as "Mazzy Star meets Serge Gainsborough at the Cowboy Junkies House", while The New York Times hailed NINA HYNES as "An enchanting cross between Björk and Massive Attack".

While NINA seems to be eternally busy, she has some houw found time to collaborate with several other high-profile acts. Two of her songs have been included on an album by German Cellist Wolfram Hushoke released on BMG Classics (The album also features songs by Marianne Faithful and Mimi Goese). She also collaborated on a yet to be released album with French avant-garde producer Hector Zazou and toured Europe singing with the classical composer and former 4AD artist Harold Budd. In addition to all this, NINA was fortunate enough to be invited on stage to sing with the late Jeff Buckley during his very last visit to Belfast.

Other collaborations include re-mixes of the acts' songs by BASS ODYSSEY (Quadraphonic) and BASIC (Kitchen Records; U2s dance imprint), who have each re-mixed songs from CREATION. Listen for the results on a dance floor near you.
