Middle Cyclone' was produced by Neko Case with Darryl Neudorf and recorded in Tucson, Brooklyn, Toronto, and Vermont. It features Case backed by her core band - guitarist Paul Rigby, bassist Tom V. Ray, backing vocalist Kelly Hogan, multi-instrumentalist Jon Rauhouse, and drummer Barry Mirochnick - along with numerous guests including M. Ward, Garth Hudson, Sarah Harmer, and members of The New Pornographers, Los Lobos, Calexico, The Sadies, Visqueen, The Lilys, and Giant Sand, among others.

In addition to twelve songs written by Case, 'Middle Cyclone' includes covers of "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth" by Sparks and "Don't Forget Me" by Harry Nilsson.

"'Middle Cyclone' follows Neko Case's critically acclaimed last album, 'Fox Confessor Brings The Flood', which achieved that rare plateau where critical acclaim meets commercial success. Neko's string of extraordinary releases has brought her that iconic status where an artist can forge an uncommonly deep and meaningful bond with her audience. Neko's many fans hang on her impressionistic lyrics, classic pop harmonics, and luxurious voice, and her new album, 'Middle Cyclone', revels in all three. Numerous guests including M. Ward, Garth Hudson of The Band, Sarah Harmer, and members of The New Pornographers, Los Lobos, Calexico, The Sadies, Visqueen, The Lilys, and Giant Sand. It's simply captivating listening. "… more than just country; it's a glorious pop album with roots in classic rock, folk, Motown and more."
