Editor's note

Neko Case's defiant, clear-eyed American songs

A voice that cuts through the noise, from The New Pornographers to solo records like 'Blacklisted' and 'Fox Confessor Brings the Flood'.

If you want to hear what she does best, put on 'That Teenage Feeling' or 'Hex'. They're both good places to start.

Case writes songs that feel like they've been weathered by something real. 'Hex' and 'That Teenage Feeling' aren't just clever turns of phrase, they're stories with dirt under their nails. She's built a catalog that holds up because it doesn't pretend to have all the answers.

She started in Tacoma and helped form The New Pornographers in 1997. Her solo work began with 'The Virginian' in 1999, then moved through the critical attention of 'Blacklisted' in 2002 to later albums like 'Fox Confessor Brings the Flood' and 'Hell-On' in 2018.
