Description:
It`s a regular you-know-who`s-who affair when Neko Case gets together with her friends. And never a disappointing one at that! How can you go wrong with The Sadies, Calexico, Howe Gelb, Paul Rigby (Bocephus King), Kelly Hogan, Jon Rauhouse, Tom V. Ray, Rachel Flotard (Visqueen) and Garth Hudson as friends? Fox Confessor Brings The Flood finds her singular, beloved voice in crystalline form - always seductive with a hint of forlorn -- and quite in contrast to the powerhouse pop she brings to The New Pornographers. Here she keeps an enticingly dark and haunting musical edge, in line with the gothic country-gospel charm of her past solo work. But in creeps a fascination with Russian and Ukrainian folk tales to solidify a theme. As each song unfolds - like the next grim tale in an obscure collection of poetic lore -- Case brings to life the mystery of a feeling, a foe, a fear, a fable. -- Robinson, Miles Of Music (Anti-)
