She does a pretty good duet with John Doe from X called Hwy 5.
I felt that her role was more of a backup singer on that one. Frankly the song came across like an X outtake where Neko was an Exene stand-in.

i was hoping this meant there was a new album coming out but it's just her contribution to a upcoming comp/sdtrk idk

that's a nice song
― Nhex, Sunday, 24 March 2013 21:01 (thirteen years ago)
Huh. I'd thought she had a new album coming out this year given her twitter output. I'd prefer not to be wrong about that.
― Matt M., Monday, 25 March 2013 15:18 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah I thought npr was supposed to be doing a behind-the-scenes thing with her new album, but there was only 1 article and I think it was almost a year ago.
― just1n3, Monday, 25 March 2013 15:22 (thirteen years ago)
I like this new track, though. It's dead solid mean, but sounds sun-shiny.

looks nice

i follow her on twitter and also got the impression she'd been doing a lot of recording in recent month.

neko is so great...don't think she's made a bad album yet.
― tylerw, Monday, 25 March 2013 16:46 (thirteen years ago)
The new song, "Man," is not what I expected (lyrics aside, which seem to be written with the Neko Case fridge magnet kit)! Rockin.

Neko Case @NekoCase 3 JunJust received a text from an unknown number that says "Oops. That was for my wife."I feel like a WHORE!
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 June 2013 18:30 (thirteen years ago)
It was up somewhere then gone, alas. I heard it on the radio.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 June 2013 18:31 (thirteen years ago)
Sounds like ... Wilco doing weird psych rock with Neko? It made me wonder who was playing guitar.
lol at that tweet
more neko always a cause for celebration
― Nhex, Thursday, 6 June 2013 18:44 (thirteen years ago)
That Mellencamp musical sure rounded up a whole bunch of talent for such a terrible idea.

i love her.

can't believe she got malick to do an album promo! [new song snippet sounds lovely]
― tylerw, Friday, 7 June 2013 16:34 (thirteen years ago)
is there a ton of talk in this thread about how she's an incredible lyricist? i feel like it's never pointed out
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 7 June 2013 16:37 (thirteen years ago)
I may have said this a couple years ago, but the songs she road tested are all pretty excellent. City Swan in particular.

hell yeah

At moments it reminds me of the Breeders.
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 16:58 (thirteen years ago)
Good song. Bummed she's only playing festivals in the US this summer.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 17:01 (thirteen years ago)
cool that she's doing nico's "afraid" on the new one...beautiful song.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 18:33 (thirteen years ago)
you could've probably convinced me that "man" was a new pornos song rather than neko. very good, though!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 19:15 (thirteen years ago)
I'm so into this song.
― kaleb h. (Everything You Like Sucks), Wednesday, 12 June 2013 01:34 (thirteen years ago)
I've listened twice today and want to listen again through headphones now.
― hashtag sizzler (Phil D.), Wednesday, 12 June 2013 01:38 (thirteen years ago)
It is, and her covers are always great. Wish she'd do a whole cover album, actually.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 12 June 2013 01:47 (thirteen years ago)
"Canadian Amp" is a fine little EP of 7 covers and one original, worth finding!
― pauls00, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 02:01 (thirteen years ago)
The Man is good, sounds indeed like The Pornos, though the bridge is kinda weak
― nostormo, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 16:33 (thirteen years ago)
actually it sounds like a track out of Electric Version
― nostormo, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 16:36 (thirteen years ago)
not bouncy enough
― Nhex, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 16:50 (thirteen years ago)
This sort of flew under the radar in late May, I only just found out about it, and I had to post it at MSN today. It's too irresistible.

I'm not feeling "Man" at all. She reminds me of Alison Moyet: singing and signifying through crap production.

The crowd shouting along is also a large part of the appeal.

Listen to Neko Case's song "Man" off her new album "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" out 9/3:

I guess I posted that above -- I wasn't sure if we had an album title + release date yet.

― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 03:54 (twelve years ago)
