A friend asked me this morning, “Hey, do you know when we’re actually going to hear new music by Neko Case?” And as if on cue, l found out this afternoon that the country-punk crooner had just put a track from her forthcoming album Middle Cyclone on MySpace. So cosmic! “People Got A Lotta Nerve” is feisty but firm, with Case’s clear-as-a-bell voice briskly leading the way. I love days when I can add albums to my “records I’m excited to hear this year” list! [MySpace]

    Very nice. I’ve been listening to her “Live from Austin” recording a lot recently. Looking forward to this!

    i’ve been unable to take this off repeat since yesterday afternoon. also, i’m ever so glad that she decided to revisit the “when zoo animals attack” theme. it’s a good one.

    Not that I mind, but it seems she’s finally shed the country tag for good.

    @brasstax: And yet she hasn’t shed the women who make me feel funny inside tag yet.
