'Set Out Running' is from Neko Case's second album 'Furnace Room Lullaby'. The album was recorded for Mint Records in Canada and is licensed to Bloodshot Records in the US.
Case has matured as a writer and 'Set Out Running' is proof. It is a haunting song of love, loss and fear, and never fails to move me I listen to it.
Keep an eye-out for a new release from Case. It is called 'Blacklisted' and is set to be released in the summer of 2002.
Neko Case and Her Boyfriends are currently on tour opening for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Neko Case has dropped 'the Boyfriends' and pushed the musical boundaries with her new album 'Blacklisted.'
She's moving away from alt. country and incorporating more elements from jazz, soul and experimental music.
The best example of this is Outro for Bees (Reprise), a hidden track on the album. It incorporates jazz(ish) vocals with found sounds to create music that sounds like a badly tuned radio. Very effective and musically challenging...I'd like to hear more like this from her!
