Singer, songwriter

Neko Case has established herself among music cognoscenti as a formidable songstress, starting as a drummer in the Canadian punk band the Maows, becoming a top alternative country artist on the Chicago-based Bloodshot label, and then moving to the Los Angeles-based ANTI- label and releasing several highly accomplished albums that crossed genre boundaries, earning both critical acclaim and a measure of popular success. She has been featured in Esquire magazine's "Women We Love" section, for combining sex appeal with formidable musical chops. As she entered her second decade of performing around North America, the peripatetic Case has continued to add to her legion of fans with a grueling tour schedule, including numerous side projects and collaborations. As she once told a writer from Maclean's, "We're doing it the pioneer way, with oxen and covered wagon."

Born on September 8, 1970, in Alexandria, Virginia, Case was raised in Tacoma, Washington. Her grandmother was the first to expose her to country music, and Case grew up listening to both Patsy Cline and the Pacific Northwest rock band Heart. Family problems drove Case to drop out of high school and leave home at the age of 15. She moved in with a friend and began playing drums in local bands, but soon obtained a student visa to attend Vancouver's Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. While there, Case joined up with C.C. Hammond and Tobey Black to form the all-girl trio Maow. Although Case was the only one of the three with previous musical experience, the group formed a local following, releasing their album Unforgiving Sounds of Maow on the Canadian label Mint in 1996.

Just Outside the Mainstream
Case convinced the label to let her release a solo album drawing on her growing interest in country music. Backed by members of the Softies, Zumpano, and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Case recorded an eclectic mix of original songs and covers. Virginian, by Neko Case & Her Boyfriends, was released by Mint in 1997. Among the standout tracks were Loretta Lynn's "Somebody Led Me Away," Ernest Tubb's "Thanks a Lot," the Everly Brothers' "Bowling Green," and obscure cult musician Scott Walker's "Duchess." Reviewing the album in Popular Music and Society, S. Renee Dechert declared that Case's voice "has the directness of Loretta Lynn's, the power of Wanda Jackson's, and the anger of Joan Jett's." Case successfully fused the raw vitality of art-punk with the down-home purity of country. As she told Richard Skanse of Rolling Stone, "Country's very much like punk rock, anyways. It's made by poor … disgruntled people. It's just a very passionate form of music—they're all similar in that way."

The country mainstream, however, was not ready to embrace her fully. Case's video for the song "Timber," in which she destroys a honky tonk when the audience seems inattentive, was refused airplay by Country Music Television on the grounds that it was too violent. In 1998 Case received a bachelor of fine arts degree from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, and when her student visa expired she moved back to the United States. That same year she played the South by Southwest Music Festival with the Sadies and teamed up with guitarist Carolyn Mark to form the Corn Sisters, a satiric country duo. She also began collaborating with Vancouver's New Pornographers, providing the vocals for what would be 2000's acclaimed Mass Romantic.

Case's relationship with Chicago's insurgent indie label Bloodshot began with the release of Virginian. She contributed to 1999's Homage to Loretta Lynn on that label, and laid down the tracks for her sophomore effort, 2000's Furnace Room Lullaby. Backed by an expanded version of her Boyfriends band, Case cowrote all 12 of the album's tracks. Recorded in the wake of a failed relationship, the album had a cathartic feel, with songs like "We've Never Met" and "Set out Running" exposing both personal strength and vulnerability. In an enthusiastic Entertainment Weekly review of Furnace Room Lullaby, Laura Morgan wrote, "The fiery singer hollers that she wants to get it all behind her, talks of tearin' her heart out, and rails against the poison in her blood. Her brutally vivid, classic country is tonic for achy-breaky hearts." Mark Deming's review for the All Music Guide was equally positive: "Neko Case understands the honest emotions and working-class poetry Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton brought to their best music. … Furnace Room Lullaby makes clear how deeply she cares for this music, and confirms her status as one of alt-country's strongest artists."

Rooted in Country
The 2000 release of the New Pornographers' Mass Romantic brought added acclaim to Case. The band was essentially a Vancouver supergroup, with honorary Canadian Case filling in the vocal slot. The album won a 2001 Juno Award for best alternative album; Case's contribution was singled out for praise. M. Boudignon, reviewing the album for UtterMusic.com, wrote that the "sparkling jewel in the Pornographers' crown is country crooner Neko Case, appearing as vocalist on most of the tracks, sans twang, but still with remarkable punch."

By then based in Chicago, Case contributed backing vocals to label mates the Mekons' 2000 release Journey to the End of the Night. In 2001 she toured as a supporting act with the fabled Australian Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Also that year she released the EP Canadian Amp on Bloodshot. Recorded at her home, its sound was stripped down compared to her previous two CDs. With the exception of Hank Williams's "Alone and Forsaken" and two tracks she wrote herself, all the songs on the EP were written by Canadians, including Neil Young, Jon Rauhouse, and Kelly Hogan. That same year Mint released the Corn Sisters' The Other Woman, recorded live in a Seattle coffee shop in 1998.

Case released Blacklisted, her third full-length recording, in 2002. Recorded in Tucson, Arizona, it was the first to be done without her usual "Boyfriends." Case wrote most of the songs and played a variety of instruments on the album. While most of her previous backing band members hailed from the Pacific Northwest, Blacklisted drew heavily on the talents of Southwest musicians, including members of Calexico and Giant Sand. In turn, Case contributed vocals to Giant Sand's 2002 release Cover Magazine. In his review for Barnes & Noble, David Sprague noted that "Case stays rooted in country—not the Nashville stripe (or even the comparatively sophisticated Bakersfield variety), but in the sounds that wafted up from the Dust Bowl and Appalachian coal country decades ago." With Blacklisted complete, Case toured extensively in support of the album.

Praise for Middle Cyclone
After signing with ANTI- in 2004, Case released the live album The Tigers Have Spoken, combining Case originals with versions of classic country songs such as Loretta Lynn's "Rated X." Her own songs for the album broke the country mold with a new tendency toward long, complex melodies, and Case's first studio album for ANTI-, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, expanded on Case's new direction. The music on the album drew on a range of materials from American spirituals to traditional music associated with the singer's Ukrainian ancestry (her great-aunt, Ella Waldek, was a professional wrestler and roller-derby contestant). Case told Matt Diehl of Interview that the album was primarily inspired by gospel music, "though I'm not a religious person." The album, in the words of the New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones, "is in some ways the first Neko Case album. Country music is mostly perceptible in the reverb, now dialled back. Case's words are more like passages from novels than like country lyrics." Fox Confessor Brings the Flood rose to number 54 on Billboard magazine's Billboard 200 sales chart.

While at work on a follow-up, Case in 2007 released Live in Austin, TX on the New West label, documenting a 2003 performance on the Public Broadcasting Service series Austin City Limits. She took her time while completing the new album, but her care was rewarded: when Middle Cyclone was released in 2009, it brought Case wide critical acclaim. Case was identified by Seth Colter Walls of Newsweek as a primary example of a new trend toward melody and beauty among independent artists. "Case is an indie artist—the kind who writes songs titled "I'm an Animal" or uses a tornado as a narrator," Walls wrote. "And yet her style is instantly appealing, blending Patsy Cline's rich country tone with the gale-force intensity of the original blues shouters, plus a jazz chord or three."

And Jon Pareles of the New York Times praised Case's songwriting on the new release. "Her own songs melt down structures," he wrote. "Instead of fixed verses or choruses there are two-chord patterns that run as long as Ms. Case wants, or as short; they might add or subtract a beat, suddenly switch chords or support an entirely new tune in mid-song." By the time Middle Cyclone appeared, Case, who often performed benefits for animal shelters, had purchased and begun to live in and renovate a Vermont farm with abundant wildlife. Her unusually long career in alternative music was continuing to show creative growth.

Biography

Alternative country singer/songwriter Neko Case won a steadily growing cult audience for her smoky, sophisticated vocals and the downcast beauty of her music. Born in Alexandria, VA, Case moved around often as a child, spending the largest part of her youth in Tacoma, WA. She left her parents at age 15, and three years later she started playing drums for several bands around the Northwest's punk rock scene. Case moved to Vancouver in 1994 to enter art school, and simultaneously joined the punk group Maow, which released a record on the Mint label. She also played with roots rockers the Weasles and eventually formed her own backing band, the Boyfriends, which initially featured alumni of the Softies, Zumpano, and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet.

Case released her solo debut, The Virginian, in 1997, delving wholeheartedly into traditional country via a mix of covers and originals. She went on to perform with Carolyn Mark in the old-timey side project the Corn Sisters and began a long-running affiliation with the Vancouver indie supergroup the New Pornographers. Case completed her studies in 1998, and with her student visa expired, she returned to Washington and began work on her second solo album. The lovely, melancholy Furnace Room Lullaby was released on Bloodshot Records in 2000 and won high praise for its dark compositions, all of which were written or co-written by Case.

Case subsequently relocated to Chicago, home of a thriving alt-country scene, and released the home-recorded Canadian Amp EP in 2001. Its moody, late-night ambience carried over to 2002's Blacklisted, a darker yet more eclectic affair. Blacklisted garnered Case her strongest reviews yet, making many year-end critics' polls and landing her a tour slot opening for Nick Cave. In 2004, Case signed with Anti Records in the United States and released a live album, The Tigers Have Spoken, which was recorded during several dates with Canadian surf-country band the Sadies. She then returned to the studio to work on another studio album, a move that required her to take a break from the New Pornographers (which whom she had recorded and intermittently toured since the band's inception).

Fox Confessor Brings the Flood followed in 2006 and fared modestly well on the Billboard charts, peaking at number 54 and introducing a wider audience to Case's dark, country-noir style. The concert recording Live from Austin, TX was released one year later, capturing a 2003 performance for Austin City Limits, and Case contributed vocals to the New Pornographers' Challengers before returning to her adopted hometown of Tucson, AZ. Recording sessions for a new album took place in that home environment, as well as Brooklyn, Toronto, and Case's newly purchased farm in Vermont (where songs were tracked in a barn). The resulting album, Middle Cyclone, was released several months later in March 2009. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Biography

Early life

Case was born in Alexandria, Virginia, to teenage parents of Ukrainian ancestry. The original family name, changed before she was born, was Shevchenko.[3] Her family traveled around while she was young before settling in Tacoma, Washington, the city she considers her hometown. She left home when she was fifteen. Her father was in the United States Air Force.[4]

Vancouver

In 1994, Case moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, to attend the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. While attending school she played drums in several local bands, including the Del Logs, the Propanes, the Weasels, Cub (which featured I Am Spoonbender's Robynn Iwata), and Maow. All of these bands were local punk groups except for Cub and The Weasels, which Case described as a "country music supergroup".[citation needed]

In 1998, Case graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, which meant the loss of her student visa eligibility. She left Canada for Seattle, Washington. Before leaving, Case recorded vocals for a few songs that ended up on Mass Romantic, The New Pornographers' first album. Her lead vocals on songs like "Letter from an Occupant" are straightforward, full-volume power-pop performances, entirely shedding any country elements. Released on November 28, 2000, Mass Romantic became a surprise success. Although the band was originally conceived as a side project for its members, The New Pornographers decided to tour and eventually to record a second, third, fourth, and fifth album.

In addition to recording with The New Pornographers, Case frequently collaborates with other Canadian musicians, including The Sadies and Carolyn Mark, and has recorded material by several noted Canadian songwriters, in particular on her 2001 EP Canadian Amp. As a result, she is also considered a significant figure in Canadian music—both CBC Radio 3 and the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada have referred to Case as an "honourary Canadian".[5]

"I hope I can comfort people a bit—maybe show people that making music is fun and accessible to them as well. I'm not out to become Faith Hill, I never want to play an arena, and I never want to be on the MTV Video Music Awards, much less make a video with me in it. I would like to reach a larger audience and see the state of music change in favor of musicians and music fans in my lifetime. I care very much about that."[6]

Seattle

Case fully embraced country music on her 1997 album with Her Boyfriends, The Virginian. The album contained original compositions as well as covers of songs by Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn and even the 1974 Queen song "Misfire". When the album was released, critics compared Case to honky-tonk singers like Lynn and Patsy Cline, and to rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson, particularly in her vocal timbre.[citation needed]

On February 22, 2000, Case released her second solo album with Her Boyfriends, Furnace Room Lullaby. It introduced the "country noir" elements that have defined Case's subsequent solo career. That tone was evident even from the cover photo, featuring Case sprawled out corpse-like on a concrete floor. On the album itself, her vocal style moves away from outright honky-tonk but retains her twang, garnering comparisons to musicians such as Cline, Lynn, Hazel Dickens, Tanya Tucker, and Dolly Parton. The title track was included on the soundtrack to Sam Raimi's film The Gift, and "Porchlight" was featured on the soundtrack to The Slaughter Rule.[citation needed]

Case sometimes tours with her friend Canadian singer and songwriter Carolyn Mark, as The Corn Sisters. One of their performances, at Seattle's Hattie's Hat restaurant in Ballard, was recorded and released as an album, The Other Women, on November 28, 2000.

Chicago

At about the time Furnace Room Lullaby was released, Case left Seattle for Chicago because she felt that Seattle wasn't hospitable to its local artists.[citation needed]

Case's first work in Chicago was an eight-song EP that she recorded in her kitchen. Canadian Amp, her first recording without Her Boyfriends, was released on her own Lady Pilot label in 2001. She wrote two of the tracks. Six tracks are covers, including Neil Young's "Dreaming Man" and Hank Williams' "Alone and Forsaken". Four of the covers were written by Canadian artists. The EP was initially available only at Case's live shows, but it eventually saw wider release.[citation needed]

Case recorded her third full-length album, Blacklisted, in Tucson, Arizona. Her first album credited to Case alone, without Her Boyfriends, it was released on August 20, 2002. Some believe the title Blacklisted alludes to Case being banned for life from the Grand Ole Opry because she took her shirt off during a performance on August 4, 2001,[7][8] though Case herself has denied this.[9] Asked about the incident in 2004, Case said "I had heatstroke. People would love it to be a 'fuck you' punk thing. But it was actually a physical ailment thing."[10]

Most of the album's fourteen songs are originals; the exceptions being covers of "Running Out of Fools", previously a hit for Aretha Franklin, and "Look for Me (I'll Be Around)" previously performed by Sarah Vaughan. Blacklisted finds Case even deeper in a "country noir" mood, and was described by critics as lush, bleak, and atmospheric. Case cited filmmaker David Lynch, composer Angelo Badalamenti, and Neil Young's soundtrack to the film Dead Man as influences. One track, "Deep Red Bells", was inspired by Case's memories of being a vulnerable young woman in the Seattle area while the Green River Killer was at large.[citation needed]

In April 2003, Case was voted the "Sexiest Babe of Indie Rock" in a Playboy.com internet poll, receiving 32% of the vote. Playboy asked her to pose nude for the magazine, but she declined their offer. She told Entertainment Weekly that "I didn't want to be the girl who posed in Playboy and then—by the way—made some music. I would be really fucking irritated if after a show somebody came up to me and handed me some naked picture of myself and wanted me to sign it instead of my CD."[11] In later interviews, she declined to discuss the survey at all.

New Pornographers follow-up albums

The New Pornographers' second album, Electric Version, was released on May 6, 2003. Case sang lead on even more of the songs on this album, and toured with the group again.[citation needed]

On April 3 and April 4, 2004, Case played two shows with longtime collaborators The Sadies at Lee's Palace in Toronto, which were recorded for release as a live album, The Tigers Have Spoken, in October of the same year.[citation needed]

Twin Cinema, the New Pornographers' third album, was released on August 23, 2005, with Case again providing vocals on several tracks. In addition to providing backing vocals on several songs, Case performs lead vocals on two ballads, "The Bones of an Idol" and "These Are the Fables". She opted out of most subsequent touring duties with the band; however, her parts were taken over by Kathryn Calder.[citation needed]

On Challengers, released on August 21, 2007, Case contributes lead vocals to the title song as well as "Go Places", in addition to her backing vocals on the other tracks.[citation needed]

The 2010 album Together features Case as lead vocalist on "Crash Years" and "My Shepherd."[12]

Fox Confessor Brings the Flood

Fox Confessor Brings the Flood was released on March 7, 2006. The album was recorded primarily in Tucson, over the course of two years as Case worked on the live The Tigers Have Spoken and continued to play with The New Pornographers. Critics hailed the record not only for Case's trademark vocals but also her use of stark imagery and non-standard song structures. Fox Confessor Brings the Flood wound up on many "Best of 2006" lists, such as No.1 on the Amazon.com music editors' picks and No. 2 on NPR's All Songs Considered. The album debuted at #54 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It contains Case's most autobiographical song, "Hold On, Hold On". Case said: "the song is actually about me. It's not metaphorical about other people. It's not little pieces of my life made into a story about someone else or someone fictitious."[13]

"Hold On, Hold On" has since been covered by Marianne Faithfull on her 2009 album Easy Come, Easy Go.[14]

Middle Cyclone

Case's latest album, Middle Cyclone, was released on March 3, 2009. In advance of a U.S. and European tour, Case appeared as a musical guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Later in 2009 she also appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Amazon.com rated Middle Cyclone the number one album of 2009.[15] Case performed "This Tornado Loves You" from the Middle Cyclone on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on June 11, 2009.[16]

Middle Cyclone debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts in its first week of release, making it Case's first album ever to reach the top ten in the United States. When released no other record from an independent record company had debuted at a higher position in 2009.[17]

She toured extensively to promote Middle Cyclone with dates in North America, Europe, and Australia, as well as a performance at Lollapalooza 2009 in Grant Park, Chicago.

Awards

Case was honored as the Female Artist of the Year at the Plug Independent Music Awards on February 2, 2006.[18]

Television appearances

On January 28, 2008, Case's voice appeared in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Sirens". Case is also scheduled to participate in a new series with Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator Dave Willis titled Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge.[19]

On March 3, 2010 Case appeared as a guest on the Australian musical quiz show Spicks and Specks. Her team, led by Alan Brough, won 18-16. At the end of the show she sang a cover of Heart's "Magic Man", backed by Kelly Hogan and Paul Rigby.[citation needed]
