played the record again this weekend after not having listened to it for a while, was again struck by the sheer gorgeousness of this album. possibly the best album of 2006 (though i struggle to think of an album that could match this in 2006) Catch her live if you can, it will be magic.
Desmond B gave it a10:
Fox Confessor is a modern classic. The songs that don't hit you at first will reveal, after repeated listens, the genius of Neko's songwriting.
Phil M gave it a10:
Beautiful.

Neko's voice is stunning. The way it glides reminds me of... snowboarding. I also love the abstract nature of her lyrics. It's a great contrast to the sometimes overly literal lyrics of pop country. One of the best albums of 2006.

'Hold On, Hold On' and 'Needle Has Landed' are among the most beautiful songs of 2006. She might not have quite the same cult appeal of some other alt.country female artists to have emerged in recent years, like Martha Wainright's (2005) 'Bloody Mother F..king Asshole' (my Finnish house-mate is a fan), or the more obscure Joanna Newsom. But Neko Case is producing some of the best music of the genre. Interesting to note that a fellow New Pornographers member Daniel Bejar also has a successful solo career with his band Destroyer - something I have only just discovered.

1- Amazing voice. 2- Beautiful Music 3- Strange Cover
DRE From Charlotte gave it a10:
Neko Case has the clearest voice in 2006 music. 'Fox' is a lovely, sorta wacko, alt-country masterpiece. It's sort of like stepping back in time to heart Pasty Cline singing cutting-edge alt.
