kramer73 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) https://kingsroadmerch.com/neko-case/ 2 Lp, brown or black vinyl. Neko Case announces new album, Hell-On, featuring incredible cover art The New Pornographers member readies her first solo album in five years When Neko Case hits the road with Ray Lamontagne this summer, she’ll have some new tunes to play. Today, the veteran singer-songwriter announced her latest solo album, Hell-On, due for release on June 1st through ANTI- Records. Hell-On marks Case’s first solo album in five years following 2013’s The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You. Most recently, she teamed with k.d. lang and Laura Veirs on the 2016 collaborative LP, case/lang/veirs, and appeared on The New Pornographers’ 2017 album, Whiteout Conditions. Besides its release date, Case also revealed the album’s 12-song tracklist and strange, smoking cover art. You can find those beneath a teaser video that features a snippet of the title track. A longer preview of “Hell-On” can be heard via iTunes. Hell-On Tracklist: 01. Hell-On 02. Last Lion of Albion 03. Halls of Sarah 04. Bad Luck 05. Curse of the I-5 Corridor 06. Gumball Blue 07. Dirty Diamond 08. Oracle of the Maritimes 09. Winnie 10. Sleep All Summer 11. My Uncle’s Navy 12.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Ordered quickly. I have concerns with the mastering after the last album, but I love Neko too much not to immediately jump on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Kings Road sux. Will wait on a legit preorder elsewhere. I'll need this on release day, not 2 weeks later. Velocity of Sound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll order this from Bullmoose. At this point, I'd rather get a less rare variant than give KRM any money. Also, that cover art is wild. I like it.

lexicondevil Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 She looks a little like Celine Dion in that pic. The song ventures into that European Tom Waits artiness and I feel like I'm going to either love this album or hate it, rather than being indifferent, since she left Americana behind. I guess I will wait to hear more tracks, because I'm definitely not buying a brown version of the record. Velocity of Sound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I love my colour variants of the reissues but everything from Middle Cyclone onwards I have in black so I'll wait for this one too. Anyone else happy Side D isn't some field recording of a swamp this time around? Maybe 5 years b/w albums made all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'll always take extra tracks but the field recording never bothered me. But where my non box set Virginian pressing at? OneThreeOneTwo and TheGhostOfRandySavage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, timsimmons said: I'll always take extra tracks but the field recording never bothered me. Me neither tbh but it did feel like "Uhhhh we got an extra side to fill". Artists who came of age during the CD boom usually record three sides worth of songs (almost every Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 2LP is 3-sided). Just a nice change of pace to know it's a "proper" double album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 despite having already ordered it, the brown is a meh color. Peach isn't much better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 White with mustard in the middle , like a cigarette color, is the way to go. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warhenrecords Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 She is great. Looking forward to this new one. Will just get it locally. Atrocious cover art. Like... one of the worst I've ever seen. Velocity of Sound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 To be fair, outside of Middle Cyclone, she hasn't had a good cover since Blacklisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I like the Fox Confessor bonus disc version cover OK, but I don't think shes had a good album cover at all. Edited March 17, 2018 by timsimmons OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right actually. Fox Confessor is the only album of hers that has has good artwork. All the others have been meh to bad.

kramer73 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 My brown vinyl shipped today. I don't even see the brown vinyl available from King's Merch anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Got my brown in the mail today. Much prefer the album artwork than it looked in the mockup. No neon yellow garbage all over it, spot gloss looks terrific, triple gatefold, looks solid, great insert. Still probably my least favorite album from her. HATE the duet cover. Haven't had a chance to listen to the vinyl yet, but I'll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
