Neko Case has announced plans for new album 'Hell-On'.
The songwriter has spent a long time on the new album, with the gap between releases extending to five years.
Fans won't have long to wait, however, with Neko Case due to release 'Hell-On' on June 1st.
It's a collaboration heavy piece: six tracks were co-produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn & John, while guests include Beth Ditto, Mark Lanegan, k.d. Lang, AC Newman, Eric Bachmann, Kelly Hogan, Doug Gillard, Laura Veirs, Joey Burns and many more.
Here's part of the introductory note:
"What I want you to know about me isn’t too much, nor do I want to over talk it. What you take away on your own, as a listener is most important. I worked really hard and I was present for every second of this project. Producing a record is a huge task and there were times I was deep in the weeds, but that is normal for a record that takes a year plus. The weeds aren’t so bad."
"There were a lot of break-through moments, belly-laughs, sleepless nights and grubby, shiny jeans. In the end it was all worth it and I am so proud of how it turned out, and I am so grateful to have worked with such dedicated, giving artists to make it happen."
