Info for case / lang / veirs (10th Anniversary Edition - Remastered)

case/lang/veirs are releasing a 10th anniversary deluxe edition of their self-titled 2016 album on 4 September via Anti- Records. The record has, in the years since, earned its reputation as a landmark collaboration between three of North America’s most distinctive voices.

Alongside the announcement, the trio have shared a previously-unreleased track, “Accidental Tattoo.” k.d. lang explains its origins: “It’s a song that came from a sudden creative spark that happened between all 3 of us a couple of years ago. Neko wrote the lyrics, Laura and I organised Neko’s poetry, adding arrangements and intertwining it with melodies and music. And then I worked closely with Larry Goldings on the actual production to fasten all of it into the song you hear now.”

The anniversary edition runs to 27 tracks, adding “Accidental Tattoo” to the original 14 songs plus 12 live versions of each other’s songs recorded during the 2016 tour — covers of tracks from their solo catalogues including “Constant Craving,” “July Flame,” “Hold On Hold On” and “People Have The Power.”

Laura Veirs reflects: “So much in the world has changed since this album first came out in 2016, but when I listen back, these songs still hold up to my ears. I’m proud of what we made together and am thankful for the opportunity to have been part of it.”

All three have been active lately. Neko Case released her ninth studio album Neon Grey Midnight Green last year, and is also composing the score for the forthcoming stage adaptation of Thelma & Louise: A New Musical, which premieres at The Young Vic in London from 3 September through 24 October. Veirs, meanwhile, announced her new solo album Temple Songs — which we covered in May — out on 14 August, with a UK and Ireland tour following in September.

Neko Case
is an American singer-songwriter best known for her solo career and as a member of the Canadian indie rock group The New Pornographers.

Case an Alexandria, Virginia native traveled throughout the country when she was young living in Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon, and Washington though she considers Tacoma, Washington her hometown. Case currently resides in Vermont.

In 1994 Case moved to Vancouver, British Columbia to attend Art and Design school. While there she played drums in several local punk bands and a country music group. While in Vancouver Case recorded vocals for a few songs that ended up on Mass Romantic The New Pornographers debut album. Her lead vocals on songs like “Letter from an Occupant” were straightforward, full volume power-pop performances. Released in 2000 Mass Romantic became a surprise hit. Although originally conceived as a side project for its members The New Pornographers remain a prominent presence in the indie rock world releasing their seventh album Whiteout Conditions in 2017.

In addition to continue to record with The New Pornographers Case frequently collaborates with other Canadian musicians and has recorded material by several noted Canadian songwriters, in particular on her 2001 EP Canadian Amp. As a result Case is considered a significant figure in Canadian music.

On her solo work and collaborations outside The New Pornographers Case has fully embraced country music. Her 1997 album, The Virginian contained originals mixed with covers of songs by Loretta Lynn and other country pioneers. Critics compared Case to honky-tonk singers like Lynn and Patsy Cline. On her second solo album, Furnace Room Lullaby Case introduced “country noir” elements that have defined her subsequent solo career. On this album Case’s vocal style moves away from outright honky-tonk but retains her twang garnering comparisons to Tanya Tucker and Dolly Parton.

Case recorded and toured for several years as Neko Case & Her Boyfriends before performing solo under her own name. She primarily performs her own material but also performs and has recorded cover versions of songs by artists such as My Morning Jacket, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams among others.

Case continues to record and tour with The New Pornographers and sings lead on several songs on every one of their albums. Case’s 2009 album Middle Cyclone debuted at No. 3 on the charts making it her first top ten album in the United States. Case released her first solo album titled Hell-On in five years in 2018.

This album contains no booklet.
