The virtuosic DJ and producer today released her debut album, <em>I Love My Computer<\/em>, an ode to the hyper-connected and wired world of electronic music, but above all to the physical machines around which it all revolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as Giorgio Moroder praised the Moog synthesizer for allowing him to create \u201cthe sound of the future,\u201d Ninajirachi is unafraid of celebrating her machine as an extension of herself, and as her muse, her music teacher and her best collaborator.<\/p>\n<p>Meticulously crafted and instinctively raw, the 12-track album guides us through a mosaic of memories that encapsulates this relationship. Ninajirachi and her computer have created a world that feels intimate as a personal diary and endless as the World Wide Web.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the instant-classic quote \u201cI wanna fuck my computer \u2019cause no one in the world knows me better\u201d from her single \u201cFuck My Computer,\u201d the album\u2019s lyricism depicts many other moments with which every producer can easily identify. Lines like \u201cFL Studio so late I fell asleep on the keys, with it looping through the speakers bleeding into my dreams\u201d (from \u201cIpod Touch\u201d) and \u201cFell into the screen like a star, as a girl, found a world there and gave it my heart, now we\u2019re soul-bound\u201d (from \u201cAll At Once\u201d) deliver the concept with unapologetic flair.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HWl1Tu9oZmY?si=zJI4DZDPijInlW_b\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Even the less optimistic cut, \u201cInfohazard,\u201d which highlights the risk of being exposed to inappropriate content on the internet, is extremely relatable for all generations since the advent of the internet. Ninajirachi sees these episodes as part of an indispensable rite of passage, a liturgy that\u2014even in its most perverse moments\u2014leaves a rooted sense of nostalgia in those who experience it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And while nostalgia is undeniably one of the pillars of <em>I Love My Computer<\/em>, what she offers is not a jaded and envious look at what is no longer there. It\u2019s not a sterile vaporwave-style celebration of an idealized past. Ninajirachi cheers these pivotal life moments in an openhearted fashion, leveraging them as a springboard to push herself towards an even more promising future.<\/p>\n<p>The stunning album effectively crystallizes the Australian artist as one of today\u2019s brightest young stars in the electronic music scene. Since she was named by <em>EDM.com<\/em> as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/features\/best-music-producers-2022\">best music producers of 2022<\/a>, she has only gained momentum. She released a pair of sister projects, <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/music-releases\/ninajirachi-4x4-ep\"><em>4\u00d74<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>and <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/music-releases\/ninajirachi-new-album-girl-edm\"><em>girl edm<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>(by her<a href=\"https:\/\/au.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ninajirachi-all-i-am-new-single-73020\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"> own admission<\/a>, they could have been combined into a single album if she had more patience<em>)<\/em>,<em> <\/em>created the <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/gear-tech\/ninajirachi-ableton-11-live-demo-track\">official demo project<\/a> for Ableton Live 11, performed at major festivals like Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas, and headlined sold-out club shows on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>What makes <em>I Love My Computer<\/em> stand out, however, isn\u2019t just the storytelling. In the wake of her previous EPs, the production lands as among the most unique in the contemporary electronic music landscape. Although Ninajirachi draws from sounds that were trending when she just was a toddler\u2014like electroclash, YK2 trance and the complextro of Wolfgang Gartner and Zedd\u2014this record feels modern and completely her own.<\/p>\n<p>As she explained on Triple J\u2019s <em>Perfect Sundays<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/triplej\/programs\/perfect-sundays\/-perfect-sunday-guest\/105496460\">podcast<\/a>, her beats are often inspired by classics that shaped her younger days, like Avicii and Nicky Romero\u2019s progressive house classic \u201cI Could Be the One\u201d and Empire of the Sun\u2019s ageless \u201cWalking on a Dream.\u201d To that end, the plan for <em>I Love My Computer <\/em>was clear: embrace the past and hyperlink it to the present.<\/p>\n<p>Ninajirachi\u2019s renowned technical skills allow her to bend all these influences to serve the kaleidoscopic range of her vision. We encounter subversive shifts in tempo and texture across the album\u2019s tracklist, like in \u201cCSIRAC,\u201d \u201cLondon Song\u201d and \u201cAll I Am,\u201d where she produces industrial drums, distorted basslines and abrasive synths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201ciPod Touch,\u201d \u201cDelete,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s You\u201d and \u201cInfohazard\u201d lean into brighter soundscapes with playful arpeggios and candy-coated vox. Elsewhere, \u201cSing Good\u201d arrives as the album\u2019s black sheep. Featuring only Ninajirachi\u2019s voice and a synth, this ballad carries an ambient feel that sets it apart from the album\u2019s glittering exuberance.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to <em>I Love My Computer<\/em> by Ninajirachi below and find the new album on streaming platforms <a href=\"https:\/\/drop.cobrand.com\/d\/Ninajirachi\/ilmcpresave\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/77CZUF57sYqgtznUe3OikQ?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-follow-ninajirachi\"><strong>Follow Ninajirachi:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>X: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ninajirachi\">x.com\/ninajirachi<br \/><\/a><strong>TikTok: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ninajirachi\">tiktok.com\/@ninajirachi<br \/><\/a><strong>Instagram: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ninajirachi\/\">instagram.com\/ninajirachi<br \/><\/a><strong>Facebook: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ninajirachi\">facebook.com\/ninajirachi<br \/><\/a><strong>Spotify: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/3hVlbBm\">spoti.fi\/3hVlbBm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/music-releases\/ninajirachi-debut-album-i-love-my-computer-review\/\">Ninajirachi Rewires Electronic Music With Stunning Debut Album, \u201cI Love My Computer\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/\">EDM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As our coexistence with technology becomes more and more dystopian, Ninajirachi has decided to swim against the tide.
