On Leaving is the fourth album by American singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia. It was released on September 11, 2006 on Fat Cat Records. It was recorded by Steve Albini and produced by Nastasia, Kennan Gudjonsson, and Albini. The album received generally favorable reviews, with a 79 aggregate score on Metacritic.[1] While some reviewers considered the album a "deeply poetic record" (All Music Guide)[2] and "full bodied and masterful, overshadowing many big-footed leading ladies’ recent folk releases" (Stylus Magazine),[3] others found it "difficult to hear Nastasia pull back to a songwriter-with-guitar style."(Pitchfork Media)[4]
