The Pacific Northwest-based, red-headed siren has always used her formidable pipes as a pre-emptive weapon to mask vulnerabilities lurking beneath the surface. But, on WTMD's CD of the Month Middle Cyclone, Neko Case charges head on by singing less in the abstract.
Though on "People Got a Lotta Nerve," I'm sure there are still a few double and triple meanings.
Check out how Canadian animators Paul and Julie Morstad imagined the song and see if you can guess which animal gets her in the end.
Neko plays two sold out shows at the 930 Club 4/8 and 4/9. Hope you've got tickets!

A "Case" for Killer Whales
Hopefully, you've had a chance to hear the new Neko Case single, "People Got a Lotta Nerve" from her album due out March 3rd, Middle Cyclone.
Typical Neko song: short, unconventional song structure, she says what she has to say and exits the song quickly- in this case, the "man, man, man, man, man, man, man-eater" refers to cases of humans getting too close to creatures such as tigers and killer whales and losing a limb, or worse, and the unjust fates of those who simply act naturally.
The charity that's benefiting from the sales of the single rescued Michael Vick's dogs.
Animals have shown up subjects/metaphors in Neko's music for awhile and with her recent move to a Vermont farm, that's likely to continue.
Can't wait for the new record, being the Neko nut that I am- in fact, she bought a bunch of old pianos and set them up in an abandoned barn and had friends play simultaneous notes- should create quite a wall of sound.
Neko plays the 930 Club for 2 shows in April (the 8th and 9th.)
