Neko Case hasn't released a solo album since 2013's The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You but that's about to change this summer when she drops Hell-On. Our song of the day is the haunting title track. In a press release for the album, the New Pornographers member said: “I write songs from a feeling of solidarity with folks who feel alone or isolated, I think I’m trying to comfort people in this way." The album includes notable contributions from Mark Lanegan, k.d. lang, her New Pornographers bandmate AC Newman, Gossip’s Beth Ditto, Doug Gillard, Laura Veirs, and Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers/Archers of Loaf). Hell-On is out June 1 via ANTI-. Catch Neko Case at the Sasquatch Music Festival on Sunday, May 27
