Review

Neko Case's 'Fox Confessor Brings the Flood' is a treasure trove of storytelling and musical artistry. Released in 2006, this album showcases Case's incredible vocal range and her talent for weaving intricate narratives. The songs paint vivid pictures, reminiscent of old folk tales and dreams, with a touch of darkness that keeps you coming back for more.

The album's sound is a beautiful blend of alt-country and indie rock, with lush arrangements that create a captivating atmosphere. Tracks like 'Star Witness' and 'Dirty Knife' stand out with their haunting melodies and rich orchestration. Case's collaborators, including members of The Band and Calexico, add depth and texture to the music, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

While some songs lean towards a more traditional folk sound, others like 'Hold On, Hold On' and 'Lion's Jaws' have a pop-inspired feel that makes them instantly catchy. The inclusion of the traditional song 'John Saw That Number' adds a touch of authenticity to the album. Whether you're drawn to the more introspective pieces or the upbeat tracks, 'Fox Confessor Brings the Flood' offers something for everyone, making it a standout album of the 2000s. - Willow
