"Last Lion of Albion" comes from Hell-On, Neko Case's seventh album, which Anti- released on June 1, 2018, and it's one of the tracks she co-produced with Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John. Case wrote it with Jeff Galegher and Paul Rigby, who both play guitar on it alongside Doug Gillard and Yttling. Joey Burns handles piano and bass, Barbara Gruska drums and Kyle Crane percussion, Case adds claves and tambourine to her vocal, and k.d. lang joins her on background vocals. Case mixed it with Lasse Mårtén.
The album came together in a rough stretch: while she was off in Sweden making it, her Vermont farmhouse burned down and left her homeless, and the work kept her from dwelling on it.
