Album: Neon Grey Midnight Green — Neko Case

The newest album by American singer-songwriter and member of Canadian Indie Rock group The New Pornographers Neko Case is out now! It is her first album since 2018, and the 55 year old artist has gone through a lot, which she shows in this reflective album. It is the first album by her that is entirely self produced, and recorded live with a full 20 piece orchestral band, but her vocals are the highlight.

Neon Grey Midnight Green can be listened to on Bandcamp here.
