Recording once more with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Nina Nastasia engaged Los Angeles instrumentalist and arranger Paul Bryan to adapt her songs into a score for a small orchestra. Featuring drummer Jay Bellerose and Chicago guitarist Jeff Parker, Outlaster is aided by, all in all, a dream band. This album is a work of lush sophistication that, with no loss of distinction or economy, transcends the reach of Nastasia’s famed sparseness. The orchestra takes a more formal approach with Bryan’s powerfully affecting score hearkening back to the likes of Gil Evans and the late Phil Ochs burnishing the record with lustrous horns and reeds and a dynamic string ensemble.

After being out of print for more than a decade, Outlaster is finally available on vinyl again. Remastered for vinyl by Josh Bonati in 2025, this Outlaster reissue is pressed onto limited edition Burgundy colored vinyl.
