Neko Case

I’ve been exploring her music myself – my usual approach with a new artist is to put all his or her albums on my Amazon Wish List, and then check them off as I acquire them. So far I’ve got The Tigers Have Spoken and like it very much, but I can’t recommend anything more specific than that. Ask again in 6 months or a year….

You might want to check her my Last.fm page.

Thanks JP. Never heard of that link, but I’m pretty far out of the loop!

I have her album “Fox Confessor. . . .” loaded on my phone. It has a nice, stripped down sound. She’s got a great voice, and lyrics worth listening too.

If you like Neko Case you should check out Haley Bonar too.

@BirdlegLeft ~ I LOVE Bonar’s voice . I never heard of her before, but I really like Too Much Nothing off of Lure the Fox.

I vote for Fox Confessor as well. Plus, Neko Case is in the New Pornographers…I like their new-ish song “Challengers.” I haven’t heard the whole album by the same name, but it might be worth checking out.

Its a little tricky to recomend just one album… I really love blacklisted and fox confessor, but the other albums have wonderful tracks on them-I would just look her up on iTunes and preview the top voted songs and work your way up from there… Hope you enjoy it! :)

In response to EmilyNathon, Neko does sound great in the latest New Pornographers album, Challengers… or any other New Pornographers album, for that matter.

I have a leg up on Haley Bonar because she’s a Minnesota native as am I. I’m not sure if she has a second album or not, but “Lure the Fox” is pretty solid. I think she did some recording with Andrew Bird, but I can neither confirm nor deny that.

Oh, and the New Pornographers make some beautiful and smart pop music.
