Album Review: Neko Case - The Worse Things Get....

Neko Case has always been difficult to pigeon hole, allowing her a certain sense of freedom to record when and what she likes. The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You, her sixth studio album, is more abrasive and confrontational than previous work. An album recorded in the midst of personal grief and adversity, songs start and stop without warning ('Wild Creatures' ends abruptly with the heartbreaking lyrics “there’s no Mother’s hand to quiet me”) but her voice is as strong as always, forcing you to listen to the hard truths and sad lives.
