Sealed, Limited Edition 2013 Deluxe Gatefold 2LP. Sides A & B Contain The Album, Side C Has Three Bonus Tracks And Side D Is An Etching. Also Includes A CD Version Of The Album, Custom Booklet And A Temporary Tattoo Sheet. “The Cover Photo For 2009's Middle Cyclone Found Indie Rock Civil Defense Siren Neko Case Warning The Masses Of Potentially Deadly Weather From Atop The Hood Of A 1967 Mercury Cougar. It Was A Striking Image, And One That Perfectly Captured Both The Album's Quiet Might And Her Distinctive Patsy Cline-Meets-Rosie The Riveter Allure. Once Again Barefoot And Wielding A Samurai Sword, Case Squares Off Against A Trio Of Serpents On The Front Jacket Of 2013's Like-Minded, Yet Decidedly More Adventurous The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, A 12-Track Horn Of Plenty That Taunts, Comforts, Bruises, And Empowers, And Like All Of Her Previous Offerings, Rewards Repeated Spins With A Multitude Of Riches. Her Most Vulnerable And Permeable Collection Of Songs To Date, It's Not Quite Neko Case Unchained, But It's Certainly As Emotionally Raw As It Is Willfully Enigmatic, Especially On Quieter Numbers Like "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu," "I'm From Nowhere," And An Airy, Evocative Cover Of Nico's "Afraid," All Three Of Which Benefit From The Barest Of Arrangements. That Said, When Case Decides To Go Big, She Doesn’t Skimp On The Trimmings (Guest Spots Are Populated By The Likes Of M. Ward, Howe Gelb, Mudhoney's Steve Turner, And Members Of Calexico, Los Lobos, My Morning Jacket, Visqueen, And Of Course, The New Pornographers And Longtime Shadow Kelly Hogan), But Her Version Of Opulence Is Mired In Great Taste, Which Affords Superb, Midtempo Offerings” – J.C.
