I've heard it, and the review below is right on. It
covers a diversity of styles, from pop to gospel to
country and beyond. It's got an anaglog vibe, and is
a little reverb-heavy, giving it a kind of mysterious,
vintage, feel -- noir indeed, and the influence of
Calexico's Joey Burns there, I believe.

From the review below, it sounds like a
winner. Has anyone heard an advance copy of it?
Neko Case - "Fox Confessor Brings The Flood" (Anti- /
Epitaph)
Bridging all kinds of musical syles effortlessly with
her highly
emotive, smoky voice, NEKO CASE has created a
masterpiece with Fox Confessor
Brings The Flood. This Virginian-born, Tacoma-raised
alt-diva got her
career started in a big way when she moved to
Vancouver and joined THE
NEW PORNOGRAPHERS (with whom she still records and
tours). Case brings
an inherent understanding of country music an all of
its' possible range
of feelings to the table on this new disc, but it's in
no way a country
album (or even an alt-country album, for that
matter...). Case is
country like DUSTY SPRINGFIELD or TOWNES VAN ZANT
was... she's actually more
of a country-noir artist than anything else. It's an
emotive starting
point, but the music in no way stops or ends there.
Standout tracks include "Hold On, Hold On" and "That
Teenage Feeling",
but this disc is so spansive and beautiful that I
suppose any or all
may emerge as your personal fave. In this day and age
of a "hit" song
surrounded by dozen other also-rans, it is certainly
refreshing to hear
such a fully realized effort throughout an entire
disc. If you're already
a Neko fan, you'll no doubt notice how wonderfully Fox
Confessor Brings
The Flood sounds... you already know what a great
singer and songwriter
she is. For the uninitiated, get ready to discover a
wonderfully
talented artist.
Helped on this new album by folks like THE BAND's
GARTH HUDSON and
fellow cosmic cowboys THE SADIES (another band that
Neko has performed
with, and worth checking out, too...), Case is just
hitting her stride. If
you don't believe me, put Fox Confessor Brings The
Flood in your car
stereo and take a little ride...
