I Love My Computer

I Love My Computer is the debut studio album by Australian electronic musician, DJ, and producer Ninajirachi, released on 8 August 2025 by NLV Records.

Primarily written and produced by Wilson herself, I Love My Computer is an electronic dance music album inspired by Australian electronic music from her childhood, as well as the genres of trance and complextro. Upon announcement, she said "I've spent more time with my computer than any one person. It helped me discover who I am… All of my music is computer music—it's my instrument, and I don't know who I would be without it." The album is noted for its loosely autobiographical lyricism, particularly about being raised in the 2000s and early 2010s, commentary on technology and the Internet, as well as references to online and Australian culture.

I Love My Computer received critical acclaim and peaked at number 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It won Best Independent Release at the 2025 ARIA Music Awards, and was also nominated for Album of the Year, Best Dance/Electronic Release, Best Cover Art, Best Engineered Release and Best Produced Release. It also won the 2025 Australian Music Prize and Album of the Year at the 2025 J Awards, with the music video for "Fuck My Computer" winning Music Video of the Year.

At the AIR Awards of 2026, it was nominated for Independent Album of the Year, Best Independent Electronic Album or EP while NLV Records were nominated for Independent Marketing Team of the Year and Twnty Three for Independent Publicity Team of the Year, Nina Wilson for Independent Producer of the Year and Thomas Purcell for Independent Mix, Studio or Mastering Engineer of the Year for this album.

Wilson began assembling I Love My Computer in mid 2024. She began making the album with future North American shows in mind, and created music which would be conducive to the live environment. Wilson also said that the sequencing of the album was important in its production process, and that it was meant to be listened to from "front to back," similar to the sequence of a DJ set. Alt-J’s An Awesome Wave, Mk.gee's Two Star & The Dream Police, and Tame Impala’s Currents were references for the album's sequencing.

Vivian Medithi of The Fader described the album as a "mix of bloghouse, trance, and hardstyle" that "recombines DNA from Skrillex and Flume’s big-tent EDM with the flubbery pop of PC Music and Porter Robinson." Wilson described the album's sound as "Girl EDM," which had become the title of her last EP. The name was inspired by her performance at a Los Angeles EDM festival, when her, MGNA Crrrta, Izzy Camina, and DJ Dave, all women, were the show’s main headliners. Ninajirachi also called the album "Australian dance music", influenced by her experiences growing up in rural Australia and by other dance artists from the country, like Empire of the Sun and the Presets. Wilson, however, was not involved in the Australian music scene during her early life, and said she was more a part of online music communities than local ones.

Lyrically, the album centers Wilson's experiences as child listening to songs on her iPod touch, and her intimate relationship with technology and music as an adolescent and adult. Wilson also created a headcanon around technology during the album’s creation, characterizing 5G towers as "places of worship" for computers, among other things.

"Fuck My Computer," the album’s second single, was inspired by Wilson’s love of making music, as well as the frustration she felt when not able to transcribe a song idea she had in her head onto her music software fast enough.
