180g Vinyl LP!
Neko's 2003 Austin City Limits debut performance includes three of her seminal solo songs at the time.
"This debut Austin City Limits performance on August 9, 2003, captures songs from Neko Cases three seminal solo releases at the time, combining elements of country, gospel and punk for a very unique sound. Thats why pundits often find the music hard to classify. Which is a good thing. Her voice has been described as lush, torchy, melancholic - even scary (someone once wrote that she sings like Patsy Clines ghost). She certainly doesnt sound like anything else on todays hit parade. Neko began her career as a drummer in a punk band, but it wasnt long before she started experimenting with songwriting and singing. She also continues to perform as a member of The New Pornographers, but her solo work is where her songwriting skills shine most. As she herself says, I want to write songs that are timeless...maybe just something more like a novel than a short story." Terry Lickona (producer Austin City Limits)
