Neko Case | Supporting Artist: Destroyer

Music of terrifying beauty from a potent and evocative voice

For more than 25 years, Neko Case’s ferocious indie-rock and country-noir sound has swelled and shrunk to fit the mood, but the walloping impact of the universes she creates has never wavered. Listening to Case’s music will teach you about this world—human nature’s cruelty, perseverance, and terrifying beauty, but the natural world as well—the moon and the stars, bees, lions, and magpies. Should you encounter a wayward soul who has never heard her music, you might respond, “Well, she once sang from the perspective of a tornado,” as if to say: there’s no physical form that could stop her potent voice and evocative storytelling.
