Hell‐On by Neko Case

Hell-On, Neko Case's seventh studio album, came out on Anti- on June 1, 2018, and it's as strange, lush and untamed as anything she's made. Case produced it herself, recording largely in Stockholm and co-producing six of the twelve tracks with Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, and his touch adds a cool, spacious sheen to her alt-country roots.
That voice is still a force of nature, big enough to flatten a barn, and the lyrics are as cryptic and image-drunk as ever. "Bad Luck" is the closest thing to a pop single here, bright and bouncing, while "Last Lion of Albion", "Halls of Sarah" and the sprawling "Curse of the I-5 Corridor" show off her gift for tangled, mythic storytelling. The New Pornographers member remains impossible to pin down, and that's the point.
