Neko Case

"Calling Cards" (lyric video)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Dec 13, 2013

Alt-country icon Neko Case's fall-launched The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You was an instant classic, and somewhat appropriately, the singer has now fit the album's downtempo "Calling Cards" with a vintage visuals-assisted lyric video.

As we hear Case's wistful cooing about keeping in touch with loved ones via truck stop pay phones, we get an eyeful of Super 8-shot footage, from people lounging on cruise decks, to a city's ticker-tape parade to more personal shots of couples canoodling for the camera. It's a pensive and heart-stirring audio-visual piece, dialling deep into our sentimental cores.

You can give it a peep down below.
