Practical Criticism No. 71: Neko Case

In episode 71 of the Podcast for Social Research’s Practical Criticism series, Rebecca Ariel Porte plays Neko Case’s “Curse of the I-5 Corridor” (off her 2018 album Hell-On) for Ajay Singh Chaudhary. Their conversation ranges from convention to the sound of disillusionment to lyrical density, meta-musical gesture, vocal quality, and how you can tell if and when something is beyond saving.
