It is the third and final record from the group, which was vocally fronted by provocative couple Celia Mancini and Chris Heazlewood. The pair met in 1991 in Auckland, but relocated to Heazlewood's hometown of Dunedin and started a six-year run of making macabre music that has been sonically compared to the likes of Sonic Youth and Velvet Underground. Caul of the Outlaw was released by Flying Nun, whom the group had signed with the year before, and follows their previous releases Super Sonic Hi Fi (1993) and You Cannot Kill What Does Not Live (1995). Alongside Mancini and Heazlewood, the record was laid down with Sean O'Reilly on guitar and Tribal Thunder (aka Lance Strickland) on drums. With it's instantly recognisable painterly artwork, Caul of the Outlaw is arguably King Loser's most popular album from the low growl of opening track 'Troubled Land' through to the fractured closing instrumental cut 'Four From The Dark Side'.
