Free Music Notes for Fox Confessor Brings the Flood (Bonus Disc Version)
Free Music Review: Extraordinary and powerful
Hit: 5 Stars
I had never heard of Neko Case before a friend gave me her latest CD, Middle Cyclone. That album had me completely awestruck: Her huge, effortless voice, her vivid imagery, the emotional immediacy of the lyrics. I decided to get her previous recordings in reverse chronological order, and this is her best CD, in my opinion. This is one of those CD's you urgently want to tell people about, yet you despair of finding words that won't sound trite, cliched, and just plain hopelessly inadequate.
Her earlier country-inspired work is tremendous, too, but somehow feels more confined or limited by that genre. Fox Confessor is varied in a way that isn't experimental or contrived--you definitely feel the music and lyrics flowed together organically. It doesn't sound like she's making a calculated effort to reinvent herself, but rather maturing into a more versatile and complex artist. Yet the music feels so carefully crafted that you realize nothing was left to chance.
Her voice is so distinctive--strong yet incredibly elastic. She never sounds like she's straining or reaching for a style she can't pull off. She is content to sing plainly and precisely when appropriate (Margaret vs Pauline, The Needle Has Landed), but she can also let loose with that voice that can swoop and soar, and pull you along with her (Maybe Sparrow, Lion's Jaws, for example).
Some of these songs are so grim, or tragic, or wistful they make you want to weep--(Margaret vs. Pauline, A Widow's Toast) but in a good, empathetic way rather than a despairing, negative way. They are dark and bright at the same time.
If you don't like music that triggers strong and complicated emotions, you might not care for this CD. If you do, you may find yourself listening to it compulsively.
