One of the most consistent songwriters and performers of the last 20 years.
As if cosmically enacted, Neko Case breaks to the surface once again with
the new album Neon Grey Midnight Green and reminds listeners that she is
one of our greatest living songwriters - perpetually becoming more fearless
and adventurous
Arriving September 26, the GRAMMY-nominated iconoclast's ninth LP is self-produced
and her biggest-sounding and most intimate-feeling release yet.
Her first new music this decade, 'Neon Grey Midnight Green' follows 2018's 'Hell-On',
an eclectic piece that The Guardian called "a pitch-perfect roar of female defiance."
Her latest is no less urgent but carries a deep blue streak of sentimentality in its
incandescent blaze. The album pays tribute to the musicians, producers and activists
who have passed away in recent years, all artists Neko was lucky enough to call not
just influences but close friends. She rises on the shoulders of her musical heroes,
using the tools they lent her to create her most inspired work.
"Renowned for her indomitable singing, [Case] has always demonstrated an equally
commanding voice as a songwriter, spelunking further and further into the human
condition." -- Pitchfork, The 200 Most Important Artists of Pitchfork's First 25 Years
"Case is known for her distinctive, flaming contralto and gothic Americana... Her lyrics -
filled with folkloric wisdom, wildlife and natural imagery - invoke a world where human
logic ranks second to animal instinct, and "civilization" is only a flimsy veneer over red-in-
tooth-and-claw reality." -- The Guardian
