Following two gorgeous albums on Fatcat Records (2006's 'On Leaving' and the stunning 2007 collaboration with DIRTY THREE's Jim White 'You Follow Me'), NYC-based singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia delivers her lushly orchestrated, heartbreakingly beautiful third album. Recording once more with Steve Albini (PIXIES, NIRVANA, P.J. HARVEY), Nina engaged Los Angeles instrumentalist and arranger Paul Bryan (GRANT LEE BUFFALO, AIMEE MANN, LUCINDA WILLIAMS) to adapt her songs into a score for a small orchestra; burnishing the record with lustrous horns and reeds and a dynamic string ensemble. Featuring drummer Jay Bellerose (T-BONE BURNETT, JOE HENRY), and Chicago guitarist Jeff Parker (TORTOISE); Outlaster is the work of lush sophistication that, with no loss of distinction or economy, transcends the reach of Nastasia's famed sparseness to deliver something really quite special.
