Neko Case – Middle Cyclone

  • March 2, 2009

Middle Cyclone, the follow-up to Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, is less country noir than previous albums and moves away from wildlife metaphors towards blustery weather related analogies. The new album captures moments of expansive country rock, Southern tinged hymns, and power-pop gems. Middle Cyclone is Neko’s most bold and distinctive record, beautifully composed and recorded. Guests include: M. Ward, Kelly Hogan, Sarah Harmer, and members of The New Pornographers, Los Lobos, Calexico, The Sadies, Visqueen, Giant Sand and others.
