Your Personal Soundtrack: Neko Case "People Got a Lot of Nerve"
My girlfriend favorite independent songstress, Neko Case, is done with her latest record. Due March 3 on Anti- Records, Middle Cyclone will play successor to my 2006 Album of the Year selection, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood.
This first single from Cyclone brings all of Case's typical charm to the table - that trademark strong vocal delivery over a bed of not-quite-country jangly guitars and shuffling drums. But the highlight here is a soaring falsetto bridge part.
Neko, as the lyrics suggest, really is a "man eater" - and Middle Cyclone's uber-awesome album art certainly supports that sentiment.
