As 2026 unfolds, indie electronic visionary Ninajirachi continues on her upward career trajectory based upon with her debut album ‘I Love My Computer’. The album is fresh and innovative in its approach to blurring genres in dance, pop and electro, often referencing the formative, shiny 2010s music that raised her and reassembles it into a supercharged sound.
“For me, ‘I Love My Computer’ isn’t just about the tech; it’s about finding intimacy and connection in the digital spaces we inhabit.”
The genesis of ‘I Love My Computer’ was a meticulous two-year process, with much of the album taking shape within the intimate confines of Ninajirachi’s Sydney home studio, underscoring the project’s deeply personal and self-contained origins. Its conceptual framework is a rich tapestry woven from the artist’s long-standing fascination with early 2000s digital aesthetics, internet culture, and the ever-evolving human-technology dynamic. Raised in a small regional Australian town, Ninajirachi credits her computer with discovering electronic music and shaping her identity. “I’ve spent more time with my computer than any one person, it helped me realise who I am and raised me for better or worse,” she shares. “All of my music is computer music, it’s my instrument, and I don’t know who I would be without it.”Blending dance, pop, and electro with supercharged 2010s nostalgia, the album maintains nonstop momentum. Standouts include ‘London Song’, ‘CSIRAC’, focus track ‘Delete’ (about social media longing), the emotional ‘Battery Death’, and the sole collaboration ‘It’s You’ with daine.
Ninajirachi spoke with B-Sides host Pete Mar about performing at Coachella 2026, how she put together her debut album, ‘I Love My Computer’ and more.
