Outlaster is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia. It was released by FatCat Records internationally on June 7, 2010, and in the United States on June 22. The album was recorded in four days at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. Los Angeles–based arranger Paul Bryan conducted score for a small orchestra, with Nastasia and her manager Kennan Gudjonsson assembling string and woodwind quartets. The record also features contributions from drummer Jay Bellerose and guitarist Jeff Parker.

Although no producer is listed in the liner notes, Gudjonsson is described as the musical director, with Bryan later confirming Gudjonsson as the producer. Gudjonsson also created the artwork alongside Dave Thomas. The album received generally positive reviews upon release, with multiple publications praising Nastasia's vocals and songwriting, as well as the quality of the orchestration and production.

"Cry, Cry, Baby" was released on May 10 as the first single from the album, followed by "You Can Take Your Time" on December 6. Each single contained an exclusive b-side: "Our Gang" and "One Turned In", respectively. Nastasia toured throughout Europe and performed sessions for several radio stations and websites in support of the record.
