Neko Case

Is there another songwriter so fearless and inventive? Bending decades of pop music into new shapes, she wields her voice like a kiss, and her metaphors like a baseball bat.  She has cast the fishing net of her career wide – from Seattle and Vancouver to Chicago and Stockholm, setting up her home base on a farm in New England.  Gathering power year after year,  Neko sings with the fierce abandon of a newborn infant crying in a basket in the woods.  Since escaping the labels of country and Americana, the gorgeous train whistle vocals of her early career, sit submerged in her later style, where their ghost can appear any minute.
