Neko Case Earns Two Grammy Nominations, Capping Breakout Year
In December, Look for Neko in Two TV Appearances – As “Guest Programmer” on Turner Classic Movies and on Elvis Costello’s “Spectacle” (Sundance)
Capping an exceptionally successful 2009, Neko Case has earned the first Grammy nominations of her career for her album ‘Middle Cyclone’ (Anti- Records). The chart-topping release, nominated for Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Recording Package, has been the best-reviewed and fastest-selling album of her career.
Case’s two upcoming T.V. appearances this December are both coups – on December 8, the Turner Classic Movies channel will feature Case – an ardent film fan – all evening as “guest programmer” with host Robert Osborne; and on December 16, she will be a guest on Elvis Costello’s acclaimed music/talk series “Spectacle” (Sundance Channel). On “Spectacle” she will join Costello, Sheryl Crow, Ron Sexsmith and Jesse Winchester for a ‘guitar pull’ — a swapping of songs and stories.
Case’s label, Anti- Records, has also announced that, beginning today, it is offering a limited edition, museum-quality giclee art print of the ‘Middle Cyclone’ album cover. It may be purchased at the label’s on-line store: http://bit.ly/7gwf6R . Pitchfork Magazine recently cited the striking package as “Reigning 2009 Album Art Champ,” while Paste Magazine went a step further, naming ‘Middle Cyclone’ the top album cover of the decade.
‘Middle Cyclone’ was the highest debuting independent release of 2009 to date, bowing at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in March, as well as #1 on the Top Independent Albums chart. Amazon recently named it the best album of 2009 on its annual year-end list.
