Neko Case Golden Plains sideshows announced
Anti- released Neko Case’s first album in over four years, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You to critical acclaim in September 2013. The Worse Things Get… is Neko’s most precise, urgent record to date, marked by a melodic immediacy, a loving embrace of the big rock gesture, and a lyrical frankness typified by first single Man, in which she warns, “I’m a man… you’ll deal with me directly.”
"My brain wilderness is more dense and dangerous than I thought,” says Case. “It was an embarrassing and hilarious march, but I now feel like a more streamlined being. It’s a good feeling. Four years of my life took ten years hostage, then gave me back twelve."
Case’s 2009 album Middle Cyclone was the best-reviewed and fastest-selling of her career to date. It debuted at #3 on US Billboard Top 200 and earned two Grammy nominations. NPR hailed Case as “one of the most memorable and seductive voices in music” while The New York Times Magazine said “her voice is a force of nature” and Rolling Stone USA called her “indie’s greatest singer.”
With all these accolades, an incredible new album and a career with such reliably stunning output it is always with much anticipation and delight that we announce that Neko Case will be touring Australia and New Zealand. The tour features headline shows and performances at various special events, and will run from February 27th to March 14th 2014. Neko last toured here in January 2010 so it’s been a long wait.
