''Outlaster'' is the fifth studio album recorded by American singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia. It was released on June 7, 2010 internationally and June 22, 2010 in the United States by Fat Cat Records (see 2010 in music). The album was once again recorded by long-time collaborator Steve Albini at Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago. Los Angeles-based arranger Paul Bryan conducted score for a small orchestra, while Nina and Kennan Gudjonsson assembled string and woodwind quartets. Jay Bellerose, who appeared on previous albums The Blackened Air and On Leaving, makes his returns on drums while Tortoise member Jeff Parker performs guitar. A single, "Cry, Cry Baby," was released in advance of the record on May 10 internationally and May 18 in the U.S. and Canada. "You Can Take Your Time" was released as the second single from the album on December 6, 2010. ==Recording and background== Recording sessions for the album took place over the course of four days at Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago from March 9–12, 2009. The album was tracked by the full band during the first three days, with conductor Paul Bryan admitting that "() things got off to an alarmingly slow start, but we eventually fell into a groove; I would rehearse the strings while Nina, Jay and Jeff would fool around with ideas. Once I felt we were ready to track, I would grab a bass and hope that we could pull off something usable while the tape was still rolling." Piano, woodwind and horn sections were overdubbed at the beginning of the fourth day of recording, with Steve Albini completing the mixing of the record by the end of that same night.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Recording Journal )〕 Nina Nastasia's long-time companion Kennan Gudjonsson has been confirmed as being a "de facto" producer for the record. On his short recording log of the sessions, conductor Paul Bryan stated that Kennan is "a musician missing an instrument; he has ultra-musical instincts and was a great set of ears in the control room. It was an intense four days and really fun."〔 Although no studio version of album opener and lead single "Cry, Cry, Baby" is known to have been recorded prior to its inclusion on Outlaster, the track had been performed live numerous times since the Run To Ruin-era, most notably as part of her third Peel Session in December 2002〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nastasia's Peel Session - December 5, 2002 )〕 under the title "Cry Baby."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BMI Repertoire Database for "Cry Baby" )〕 The track was performed alongside "Party Favour," which would later be re-titled "Your Red Nose"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BMI Repertoire Database for "Your Red Nose" )〕 and released as the b-side to the non-album single What She Doesn't Know in 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outlaster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
