Pop/Rock - Erstwhile New Pornographer and indie songwriter darling Neko Case follows up her 2006 breakout release Fox Confessor Brings the Flood with Middle Cyclone, a highly-anticipated, guest-laden new project that also includes two interesting covers: Harry Nilsson's "Don't Forget Me" and Sparks' "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth."

"I realized that since 'Fox Confessor,' I'd said a lot that I don't write love songs " I just don't like to do it," Case observes. "But I ended up writing lots of love songs. If you say you don't want to do something, you're going to contradict yourself later. It always happens. They're still not traditional love songs, but they're love songs nonetheless."

Stopping by to contribute to "Cyclone" were M. Ward, The Band's Garth Hudson, fellow Canadian singer Sarah Harmer and members of Los Lobos, Calexico and Case's fellow "Porn"-stars.
