If there’s already a thread on this, a thousand apologies, but I didn’t see one.
My favorite living female singer, Neko Case, just came out with her latest album this Tuesday, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, and I got my preordered copy in today’s mail from Amazon.com. So far, I love it. I’ve only listened to it once through, while doing other things, but I already choose “Hold On, Hold On” and “John Saw That Number” as my favorite tracks. This is most definitely subject to change.
I love Neko! I got into her through the New Pornographers, the mostly-Canadian power pop supergroup she sings with, and from there, fell deeply in love with her sultry, smoky alt-country solo career. I have all of her solo albums except the somewhat-rare *Canadian Amp * EP, and Blacklisted, her third album (and my first), is far and away my favorite. *Fox Confessor * is her fourth studio album but her fifth overall, following the live CD *The Tigers Have Spoken * (which is also good, but not quite as good as Blacklisted or my initial impression of this new one).
