Don’t miss Neko Case Fall Tour 2024 with special guest Imaad Wasif in the Longworth-Anderson Series on Sunday, September 22, at intimate Memorial Hall!Is there another songwriter so fearless and inventive? Bending decades of pop music into new shapes, multi-Grammy nominee NEKO CASE 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. When her voice jumps an octave, it’s almost visible, like sparks at night. “I never knew where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my voice,” she says, “but I just wanted to do it so bad.”
With a career spanning over twenty years, she has famously collaborated with The New Pornographers and Case/Lang/Veirs in addition to releasing many critically acclaimed solo albums, including Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, Middle Cyclone, and, most recently, 2018’s Hell-On, in addition to the career-spanning retrospective Wild Creatures that was released in 2022. She also writes weekly pieces for her popular Substack Entering The Lung, where she ruminates on the nature near her rural home, life on tour, her pets, and anything else that comes to mind.
Neko is doing it on her own terms, but the legacy she’s building is one that can stand up to music made by any other solo artist in her lifetime. Don’t look away; you never know what might happen. “I’m just trying,” she says, “to be myself as hard as I can.”
IMAAD WASIF is a Los Angeles-based musician. He has released six solo albums as well as numerous collaborations. Credits include The Folk Implosion, lowercase, alaska!, Grim Tower, and ACID. He is also a touring and recording member of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
