Whaat? 😕 Oh! Are you talking about The New Poronographers? Yeah, she's in that band, but that's kind of a side project for her, and different from her normal style of music. She's just a singer in the New Pornographers, whereas she writes and sings her own songs as a solo artist. Her solo career comes first for her.

No, not really. Listen to the clips posted. She's more in a traditional country or folk rock sort of vein.

How would you describe / characterize her, Ffudnebbuh? I'm curious how others perceive her music too.

That is a great question Mr. Shankly, I was thinking about that yesterday after my post...I don't think she can be categorized. I never heard the twang until my sister mentioned it and then I could hear it,..I don't hear her as country at all, but everyone else does..funny how everyone hears an artist differently. To me, She reminds me of a female version of The Band. Interestingly, Garth Hudson played on her first album. when I first heard hear, I assumed she was one of the gay women singers, non political with a great voice, weird that is how she struck me, but i think she is straight, so my perception of her is different from other peoples. She also reminds me of a milder Michelle shocked combined with Kate and Anna McGarrigle? So, I guess I can't categorized her because as soon as I say that, it doesn't sound right...well anyway her voice is amazing. I hope that she makes a zillion albums but with a better band.

Yeah I love Neko Case. Her last album in particular Middle Cyclone. My favorite song from her is probably Star Witness:

I once owned a copy of New Pornographers Challengers. I assume she was the female singer there. I might have a listen later.

Her songs have improved with each album. I'd give her last album 4 out of five stars. It's thoroughly enjoyable and fairly memorable. Something tells me she's got a masterpiece in her yet.

That's the only album I don't own by her. It's a good song. It's pretty typical of her sound. For those who want to listen to it:

No this is the song...completely amazing..I am so glad that someone else loves her as much as I do..her voice is unbelievable, I can't explain what it does to me. and I completely agree with what you said about that she hasn't made an album worthy of her talents...she needs a new producer and a new band, which is terrible. She has such a great instrument, she needs people around her that are up to her talent level. This song is my favorite of hers, it is a live recording and I don't think that it is a live album, just this one song.

Absolutely! I love her. She has to have one of the most amazing voices in modern music today, and what's more, it's real too! She doesn't use auto tune. She's the real deal. She's sort of the modern day Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn with just a dash of that alternative / indie sensibility, plus she's sexy as Hell lol.

Apperill, as a fan of female songwriters, you might like her if you can handle a bit of country twang. Everyone should check her out. The only thing is, I don't think she's made an album worthy of best ever status yet. Her last album might come close though, and it's certainly within her power to make one in the future.

any other n case fans out there...heard "tigers have spoken" from her live album for the first time last week, it is my fav song of the last 5 years..her voice is so haunting, affects me like few other voices do..I have always been against zoos and i think that this song effectively expresses my sentiments.
