Every handful of years, Neko Case resurfaces with a new album and reminds listeners that she is one of our greatest living songwriters — perpetually becoming more fearless and adventurous. “She has cultivated one of the most distinctive voices in American song,” Stereogum declared. “Her albums unravel like musical picaresque: restlessly digressive, bluntly funny, strange — but never in ways you’d anticipate.”
The Grammy-nominated iconoclast’s ninth LP, Neon Grey Midnight Green, is her biggest-sounding and most intimate-feeling album yet. Released last fall to immediate critical acclaim and declared an essential album in her catalog, the album was laid down live with a full band. More “in the room” than any of her past work, even breaths and shirt-sleeve rustlings were kept in the final mix as a reminder that “humans were here.”
“There are so few producers who are women, nonbinary, or trans,” says Case, who identifies as gender fluid and uses she/her pronouns. “People don’t think of us as an option. I’m proud to say I produced this record.”
Today she is announcing a new run of ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’ tour dates that begin this fall on the East coast and makes its way through the Midwest, including a stop at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, featuring a special lineup. The tour wraps up with two shows in Case’s hometown of Tacoma, Washington with legendary Pacific Northwest artists Girl Trouble and Team Dresch. Presales begin Wednesday at 10 am local time and all upcoming dates are listed below.
Her memoir The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You was released in January last year and reached #5 on The New York Times nonfiction best sellers list. Named one of the best books of the year by Vulture, The Washington Post, The Globe, Apple and NPR, Case was raised “by two dogs and a space heater” in Washington state and the book’s vibrant wordplay and unflinching humor were a familiar balm to fans.
Case is also the composer and lyricist for the forthcoming stage adaptation of Thelma & Louise: A New Musical, having been personally selected by original screenwriter Callie Khouri to create the score and songs. The production will make its world premiere this fall at The Young Vic in London, running from September 3 through October 24. Tickets are available HERE.
