Unpredictability seems to be Neko Case‘s goal. Middle Cyclone is a cohesive package, no worries there, but until the last song rolls by, you cannot know what’s coming next, sometimes even in the same song.
Mockingbird to the Morning is the song that gets stuck in my head; especially the moment in the second verse where she leaps to a note a full octave higher than you expected, then again coming out of the instrumental break.
Yet another song about loss, or found, or confusion. Seems to be a mood I’m in.
I’m An Animal…I like that one one off that album.
And I had totally forgotten I even owned this album; it was lost in the Great Hard Drive Accident of ’23. Off to reclaim it.
