When busy bee Neko Case hurt her ankle during this spring's New Pornographers tour with Okkervil River, faces fell long from coast to coast. The alt.country enchantress was to miss a number of dates supporting 2007's Challengers, and really, what's a Porno show without its chanteuse?
The drought's end brings Hurricane Case. The spring "Good News" sampler
from creative arts magazine Esopus comes with a duet by Neko and
co-Porno Carl Newman called "Yon Ferrets Return."
And even without any new album announced to follow up Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, a solo tour is in order for all who missed their fix in April. Two New Pornographer sets (rarities these days) hide in the September mix for eagle-eyed fans looking for power-pop gems within the two-month twang of solo material.
