"Ninajirachi is having a dream run with her debut album
I Love My Computer –
and between leading this year’s Aria nominations with eight nods and the
rapturous crowds at sold-out shows, she knows it.
“I want to live up this one before I move on, because it might be hard to come
back to this headspace and time,” says Nina Wilson. “I don’t want to rush into
the future.”
Released independently via NLV Records this August to international acclaim
(including the
Guardian’s own five-star review),
I Love My Computer’s
high-octane, innovative take on 2010s EDM has helped position the 26-year-old
as Australia’s next big dance export.
Not that she’s an overnight success. Since gaining prominence as a
Triple J
Unearthed High finalist in 2016 and 2017, Wilson has steadily established an
audience through a series of playful, floor-filling releases, as well as sets
at EDM festivals across the US.
But things have ramped up of late. In the past three months, Wilson has toured
relentlessly across the US and Australia, locked in slots at both Coachella and
Primavera, and started raking in trophies ahead of the Arias this Wednesday,
where she is up for album of the year, breakthrough artist, best solo artist
and more.
I Love My Computer has already won both
Triple J’s album of the year,
alongside the prestigious Australian Music prize (AMP), a $50,000 award
inspired by the UK’s Mercury prize given “purely on artistic merit”."
