Sorry, I thought it started off promising but I didn't have enough time to make it all the way through. Was there a monster at the end?

I like the Case/Lang/Viers stuff I've heard so far. "Atomic Number" is great.

Agreed. I'm excited for this!

I have to laugh at that song. It's supposed to be this brutal condemnation of a parent who is verbally abusive to their kid. Yet every parent I know talks like that.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 15 April 2016 05:48 (eight years ago) link
Every parent you know tells their kid(s) to get the fuck away from them and asks them why they don't ever shut up?

note: I'm not taking what you said literally, though it sounds like it. better way to ask my question is: "Really??"

that lyric is both hilarious and tragic

listened to this 5 times today i like it a lot
― Mordy, Thursday, 9 June 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
i wasn't really into the singles but it holds together much better as an album length. lots of really wonderful stuff going on + the 3 of them are excellent. they vary styles but i think neko's voice (literally + stylistically) comes through the strongest here.
― Mordy, Thursday, 9 June 2016 21:22 (eight years ago) link
I can't wait to spend more time with it. It's beautiful, but I do find myself looking forward to the Case-fronted ones most of all.
xp ha, yes exactly.

need to listen to this more, was not as wowed as you folks on my first listen

Likewise I'm afraid, though "Atomic Number" remains lovely.

Album cover & track listing for new Neko Case album, due June 1!!! Cannot wait! pic.twitter.com/YbQsslFfpX— Chris (@ctrauty) March 5, 2018

this turned up in the replies - hadn't heard it before and it rules
No kidding!! And you just reminded me of my favorite Wits episode where It closed with Neko singing Maiden! https://t.co/zfdZZrly35— Chris (@ctrauty) March 5, 2018

I was *just* wondering what she was up to. Very excited, I haven't seen her live in a while, gotta catch her this time around!
She's going almost 20 years and there's no duds in her catalog, and almost every guest appearance is worthy as well.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 14:14 (six years ago) link
Not really into most Springsteen-style bands but this is one of my favorite appearances with her:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcAty0w-ruM

Weird song. Probably sounds better in context.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 6 March 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link
agreed, sounds like one of her spacey mid-album tracks
― Nhex, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 20:23 (six years ago) link
yeah like the title track to "fox confessor brings the flood"
― It's not delivery, it's Adorno! (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
I like this, almost a Rubber Soul-remembered-as-a-dream vibe about it. seems weird that her label would release it as a single/teaser (unless the rest of the album is really low key), but I already know I'll rip it for my phone when I get home.
― Dominique, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 20:59 (six years ago) link
I like it too, it has that Tin Pan Alley/cabaret thing that can go wrong, but this works (and I love it when Tom Waits does it too). Nice sneaky switch to 4/4 going into that bridge.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
Just prior to hearing this, I was listening to a promo by a Birthday Party-like band, and was lamenting that the whole noir thing is so played out. Then this lands and disproves my point.

I'm gonna randomly mention that I've been obsessed for years w/her song "I Missed the Point." I have to sit, transfixed, whenever it's playing... the melody, music & lyrics are all astonishing. If I were the type to pick out "songs to be played at my funeral," that one would top the list -- it's that kind of song, so personal/powerful.

Love seeing Kelly Hogan in that "Bad Luck" clip.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 12 April 2018 13:33 (six years ago) link
Haven't seen her live in awhile, but it looks like her only upcoming gig near me is opening for Ray LaMontagne at a big outdoor shell with lawn location. Not really a fan of his.
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 12 April 2018 15:20 (six years ago) link
not a lot of space for the song to breathe, makes me feel like I've airplane ears
still not lovin' overcompression
― niels, Thursday, 12 April 2018 17:20 (six years ago) link
Neko Case is opening for Ray LaMontagne!? Not the other way around? What a world...

^^Reminds me of this time I was watching The Tonight Show when they had Jakob Dylan on and I realized Kelly & Neko were his backing singers AND NOBODY SAID ANYTHING.

Re-listened to Furnace Room Lullaby for the first time in ages. I'd forgotten how great that disc is & just how spectacular her vocals are.
― that's not my post, Tuesday, 22 May 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link
Not sure about any of these new songs tbh - I should be excited for a slow burning seven-minute duet with Mark Lanegan but it's not clicking for me yet
― Simon H., Tuesday, 22 May 2018 19:54 (six years ago) link
