Country Noir, Blacklisted & New Pornographers!
Neko Case is special case. American but also 'honorary Canadian'. A singer that interchanges idiosyncratic paths and partnerships. But can be situated between Patsy Cline and Wanda Jackson!?
Rocking and moody country, let's just call it 'country noir'. Especially on her five studio releases with intriguing names like 'Furnace Room Lullaby', 'Blacklisted', 'Fox Confessor Brings The Flood', 'Middle Cyclone'...
Neko Case's breakthrough actually came about with the indie and exciting The New Pornographers. For 5 CDs long now. But since then you could also experience her with Her Boyfriends, The Sadies, The Corn Sisters...
The stubborn Neko is a striking artist who already felt at home in Vancouver, Seattle, Chicago, Tucson... Who actually mainly seeks exciting company anywhere she goes. Far removed from noisy awards, MTV filth and other Playboy's who want to see her pose naked.
Now finally in the ABClub, with new material that should be released toward the end of the year. Bringing along her 'twang': that compelling vocal variegation that revives even the most sombre 'country noir'.
