Neko Case's fourth studio album, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, is simply one of the most anticipated releases of 2006. Collaborating with the likes of The Band's Garth Hudson, Calexico's Joey Burns and John Covertino, and Giant Sand's Howe Gelb, Neko displays a newfound love of studio artistry on songs like 'Dirty Knife,' with its dark orchestral sweep, and the Ennio Morricone meets Brenda Lee classicism of 'Star Witness.' Most notably, Neko has for the first time recorded songs like 'Hold On Hold On' that harken back to the classic three-minute pop of The Mamas and the Papas and The Byrds, offering an entry point for a whole new audience into the lush, arcane universe of Neko Case.
