In advance of this month's show at the Kent Stage, Neko Case talks about her new career-spanning compilation
Toward the end of last year, singer-songwriter Neko Case hit the road with the New Pornographers, the Canadian power-pop band with whom she often tours and records. The group played a few West Coast dates prior to Christmas and somehow completed the tour, even though a few members became sick during the trek.
Case, who regularly splits her time between the New Pornographers and her solo career, recorded her last solo studio effort, 2018’s, in Stockholm. During the recording process, her home in Vermont caught fire, but since she was in the middle of making the album, Case couldn’t respond to the situation directly.
In an essay she wrote about the album, she was critical of the sound of her voice. “I don’t have a pretty voice or a trained voice, and I am constantly disappointed that I don’t have a ‘tough’ voice, no matter how hard I practice," she wrote,"but it’s mine, and for all its loud, heavy-handed, nasal, vibrato-less qualities, I accept it.” Given that Case's voice is nothing short of magical, it's clear she must be her own worst critic.
Case wasn’t always a singer. She sang in school choir and liked the fact she could “blend into the crowd of kids.” As a teenager, she mostly played drums with punk bands in Vancouver, where she attended the Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
