I had a hunch the video for this song would have animals in it. In this animated clip, lil’ Neko’s at a stitch ‘n bitch inside the belly of a killer whale when she’s shot out of its blowhole onto a flying Greyhound. Basic alt country stuff. I won’t ruin the middle (cyclone) for you, but she ends up back inside the Orca. Seawolf got a lot of nerve.
Middle Cyclone is out now via ANTI-. This song’s available for Rock Band too.

I love her THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS much.
Best music video clip of 2009 so far!
what a fantastic song.
But a little more Shel Silverstein yet please…
Tigers again? Hm. And why are the hawks still wearing their hoods when they start flying? How do they see where they’re going?
Anyhow. I remain convinced that Neko will one day start making great albums again, and it’ll take more than three duds (counting Spoken) to wear me down. Four’s gonna be pushing it, though. Another one like Blacklisted, please. You’re a fucking genius, Case. It’s OK to resume acting like one any time you like.
Grobian, I agree with you that Blacklisted is an amazing record but how you could have no love for Fox Confessor and Middle Cyclone (and still feel she is a genius) is beyond me. Maybe give them another listen, because I wouldn’t call anything this woman’s ever done a “dud”. Great video, too.
You are trying too hard.
Sooo, is that whale running a sweat shop in it’s belly?
Grobian – fuck you. Middle Cyclone is probably the best album that’s been released this year. If you don’t want to recognize that than you’re just too much of a bitter music critic. Go listen to fucking TV On the Radio. Honestly – what DO you like?
Goodness, li’l Neko is just so darn cute. I just want to eat her up.
Cause I’m a manmanmanmanmanmaneater.
Too soon?
Every little thing…
I really love her. best song. tnx
wow “fuck you”? really? take it easy there kiddo.
this really is the perfect little song. i can’t get enough of it.
what a cutie.
I think every album after Blacklisted just takes some getting used to, just see it as three sides of Neko Case at once. It took me a really long time to like Fox Confessor but now i really love it. I’m kind of at that point with Middle Cyclone but it will work itself out.
I’m still head-over-heels in love with ‘Blacklisted.’ ‘Fox Confessor’ and ‘Middle Cyclone’ are pleasant enough but they’re not as engaging. I tend to tune out and they become pleasant background music. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
All her records are amazing, and different from each other. MIddle Cyclone may be the nest one yet, and I don’t say that lightly. Canadian Amp was pretty aces too…
