Sleepwalking, was released on Aztec Records on March 16, 2018. The Electricity Club described the album's title track as "a wonderfully moonlit pop number with a Eurocentric sensibility that will also act as perfect to soundtrack a West Coast night drive". In November 2018, Nina performed six shows in the U.S. alongside Canadian synth pop band
Parallels. Nina released her single "The Calm Before the Storm" as part of
Adult Swim's "Fever Dreams" synth wave compilation. In 2019 Nina Boldt appeared in the documentary film
