The Making Of Neko Case's Middle Cyclone

thumbnail icon: The Making Of Neko Case's Middle Cyclone

We showed you Neko Case surfing a muscle car, sword in tote, for her new solo album Middle Cyclone. This "making of" teaser appears to be a tad gentler, until she describes locating themes for the the followup to 2006's Fox Confessor Brings The Flood as akin to "locating a serial killer." Of course it was. We also see Case in the creaky, pretty barn where she moved to record the album (check out the piano lineup and cardboard booth), live footage, Case talking about building an Eiffel Tower out of popsicle sticks, and explaining what she thinks it would be like to have a tornado fall in love with you (A: stormy, dangerous). She also finds time to check out bird nests, listen to the frogs, and smell the flowers.

Middle Cyclone is out 3/3 via Anti-.

Godamn it. Just when you think she can't get any more unbelievably awesome, she talks about building an Eiffel tower out of popsicle sticks. She is a fucking goddess.

The albumcover is probably the best one I have seen in ages. If not ever. I love it!

She sounds fantastic. I can't wait for this album.
Is she wearing an Adult Swim hoodie? heh.

i love fox confessor. cyclone sounds very similar which turns me off because i will be bored. as far as the album cover goes, 70s exploitation film art is very in right now, so im a little worried that whole experience of the new album will be a little bit forced into the main stream. but i love you neko, so gimmie something good.
