NEKO CASE

MIDDLE CYCLONE

2009-02-24

NEKO CASE MIDDLE CYCLONE This is Neko Case’s sixth solo release and showcases an artist that is growing with each release. Where 2006’s Fox Confessor Brings the Flood brought Neko into the spotlight and showed a more Pop side of Neko, this CD goes even further. This CD is pure pop, rock and at times soulful candy. To help with this disc Neko brought an army of friends including M. Ward, & members of the New Pornographers, Los, Lobos, Calexico and the Sadies. The true magic of this disc remains Neko’s voice wrapped around some well crafted and written songs. It was 3 years between discs, but I think most will agree that the wait was worth it.
