About
“Hello, stranger,” Neko Case sings off the top of her eighth album, and it’s a welcome reintroduction, given that <i>Neon Grey Midnight Green</i> arrives seven years after its predecessor. Case spent a good chunk of her time away writing her best-selling memoir, <i>The Harder I Fight the More I Love You</i>, a no-holds-barred account of her hardscrabble upbringing, and in a sense, <i>Neon Grey Midnight Green</i> feels like a continuation of that introspective work. As the first entirely self-produced album of her career, it provides an unfiltered glimpse into her musical mind, where she conjures a surrealist swirl of classic-country balladry, lush ’60s orchestral pop, dissonant punk, and avant-garde experimentation. It’s also a profoundly personal record, informed by the deaths of some longtime indie-rock allies: On “Winchester Mansion of Sound,” she pays tribute to Flat Duo Jets lead vocalist Dexter Romweber with a baroque piano lullaby that gives way to a lovingly nostalgic invocation of the “Down Down Baby” clapping-game sing-along. On the equally haunting and heavenly “Match-Lit,” she and guest Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire summon the spirit of The Sadies’ Dallas Good by quoting a song they all bonded over, the Mickey & Sylvia/Everlys standard “Love Is Strange.” At time, <i>Neon Grey Midnight Green</i>’s dream-state logic leads Case into bizarre uncharted territory: The theatrical spoken-word jazz poem “Tomboy Gold” is a lot closer to Laurie Anderson than Loretta Lynn. .
