It's been almost 3 years since Neko Case's last release, 2006's excellent Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, and Middle Cyclone needs to make up for a 3-year drought of new Case material. To pick up the slack Case had to retreat to a creaky windblown barn in the middle of nowhere, enlist an orchestra of pianos, and recruit M. Ward, Calexico, and members of The New Pornographers. She also spent time with big thoughts, like what it would be like if a tornado was in love with you. Well at least it's good to know that she took her task seriously.
