American country and alternative rock star Neko Case (born in Alexandria, Virginia, on September 8, 1970) came to prominence in 1997 with the album The Virginian, named after her home state of Virginia. Alongside a solo career noted for her polished songwriting and warm voice, the singer is also a member of The New Pornographers, a group she reunites with between each of her own albums. Neko Case's career has been buoyed by the release of her album Blacklisted in 2002, but she lacks recognition in Europe, where Fox Confessor Brings the Flood was released confidentially in 2006. After Middle Cyclone in 2009, the tide seemed to turn in her favor with one of her finest productions, The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You, released in 2013 with the single "Man". She then joined forces in 2016 with two other songwriters who share her alternative vision of folk and country: k.d. Lang and Laura Veirs. The result is a joint album, soberly named Case/Lang/Veirs, followed by a tour. Her two partners reunite on her seventh solo album Hell-On, released in 2018 to renewed critical acclaim. After the release of the compilations Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule in vinyl format in 2015 and Wild Creatures, a retrospective published in digital format in 2022, Neko Case records and produces her eighth solo album Neon Grey Midnight Green (2025), with the assistance of Tucker Martine and arranger Tom Hagerman.
