Speedrun (a.k.a. Nina Lüders) is a singer-songwriter born and raised in New York, whose self-coined “indie chic” music weaves a dynamic tapestry of alternative rock with jazzy vocals, contemplative lyrics, and Cameroonian makossa-inspired riffs. Intertwining vintage sounds with contemporary themes of social alienation and self-love, Speedrun invokes a nostalgia trip to old and new fans of indie rock while also bringing forward a new, electric perspective.
Her debut EP Love’s Latest News is an exploration of the medieval ideals of courtly love and how they relate to the modern world. Each track, ranging from chill to upbeat, delves into different types of love before finally culminating in self-love as the central theme. She confides, “I wrote this EP as a love letter to 2000s indie rock, with the cover art of me in a suit of armor to both highlight the medieval theme and introduce imagery of a young black woman empowered in her own hero’s journey. The Strokes producer Gordon Raphael found me on TikTok and offered to join the project as the lead mixer and really drove home the nostalgic garage rock sound while keeping it contemporary for all kinds of listeners.” The result is a captivating six song journey of empowerment.
