Thanks for the heads up. I feel like she had a career peak with "Fox Confessor," so I'm really looking forward to this one.

No road trip to the Beachland? Giants Sand's there, as well as the PD Posse (well, those that can get the night off)!
Actually I heard about this as I left Cleveland today on WRUW. It did cross my mind to catch this, particularly with Big Sand opening. I saw Neko at the Beachland a few years back with the Sadies and it was quite the show...

That show's already on my calendar, especially after missing Neko on the New Pornos last visit in Cleveland (absent due to foot injury). Lou -- You should do this! I can getcha from NE Indiana to Cleveland!

Sadly it is on a Tuesday. I will catch her at the Hideout.

Blacklisted is still my favorite, but Fox Confessor is top notch too... probably my 2nd favorite at this point

 

can't wait for her show w/ Giant Sand @ First Ave

I don't have the faintest guess as to what this record is going to sound like. Obviously it will have better vocals than 99% of the albums released this year. Beyond that I've got no guesses and I love that. Think I'll go listen to Fox Confessor again. It's only one of the best albums ever made, ever.

Neko Case

December 02, 2008 11:04 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

 

Neko Case will follow up 2006's "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood," the best-selling album of her career, with "Middle Cyclone," due March 3 via Anti-.

 

The 15-track collection boasts guest appearances from the Band's Garth Hudson, fellow Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah Harmer, M. Ward and members of Case's primary band the New Pornographers, Calexico, Los Lobos, Giant Sand, the Lilys and the Sadies.

 

"Middle Cyclone" was produced by Case and Darryl Neudorf and put to tape in Tucson, Ariz., Brooklyn, N.Y., Toronto and Vermont. The album's 12 originals are augmented by covers of Harry Nilsson's "Don't Forget Me" and Sparks' "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth."

 

"Fox Confessor Brings the Flood" brought Case to a new level of commercial visibility, having sold 194,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

 

Here is the track listing for "Middle Cyclone"

 

"This Tornado Loves You"

"The Next Time You Say Forever"

"People Got a Lotta Nerve"

"Polar Nettles"

"Vengeance Is Sleeping"

"Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth"

"Middle Cyclone"

"Magpie to the Morning"

"I'm An Animal"

"Prison Girls"

"Don't Forget Me"

"The Pharaohs"

"Red Tide"

"Marais La Nuit"

I don't know that I'd call the New Pornographers her "primary band." Makes it sound like she's a member of the NPs first and a solo artist second.

 

Thanks for posting that, A-man ... can't wait!

 

I thought this was interesting.

I love that she covered Harry Nilsson. Even sang it on tour this fall. I keep hopeful about the new album, but she did play 2 new songs which were okay on first introduction, not knock-outs, but way too early to judge IMO.

 

What a nice cast of guest artists, too! :wub

 

Moving from the Tucson desert to a farm in Vermont? That's a big switch but sounds awesome!

Good eye Leo! (I mean the car :rolleyes)

 

One of my best friends from high school drove a Cougar of about that vintage. Spent many a summer night cruising those Ohio country roads in it.

 

"We have now reached our cruising altitude of 37,00 feet." :lol

 

Can't wait for new Neko.

Neko previewed some of her new songs at the Hideout Block party.....good stuff. Sounded just like Neko.

 

Ah yes crusing around Ohio in vintage cars...they weren't vintage then, we all are now....
