It’s been far too long since we’ve heard from one of our favorite crooners, Ms. Neko Case, and if you love her as much as we do, it’s a special day for you indeed. It’s been 6 years since the spectacular Middle Cyclone, which cemented Case’s status as one of the most interesting and diverse songwriters of her time. With the new track “Man” she moves even further away from her past as an Alternative Country darlilng and more towards the mind-meltingly amazing power pop that she makes with The New Pornographers. Cases’ new record The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You comes out September 3 (on this writer and giant huge Neko Case fan’s birthday, so thanks for the gift Neko!) — check out the single “Man” above.
