Case's singing voice has been described by contemporaries and critics as a "flamethrower",<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> "a powerhouse [which] seems like it might level buildings,"<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> "a 120-mph fastball,"<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and a "vocal tornado".<ref name="Menaker">Template:Cite news</ref> Critics also note her idiosyncratic, "cryptic,"<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> "imagistic"<ref name="Menaker"/> lyrics, and credit her as a significant figure in the early 21st-century American revival of the tenor guitar.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Case's body of work has spanned and drawn on a range of traditions including country, folk, art rock, indie rock, and pop and is frequently described as defying or avoiding easy generic classification.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Early life
Born in Alexandria, Virginia, Case is the only child of James Bamford Case.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Case's maternal family surname was originally Shevchenko; her great-aunt was the professional wrestler Ella Waldek.<ref name=EW-Amazing>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Her father, a Vietnam veteran serving in the United States Air Force,<ref name=Furious-Thrice>Template:Cite web</ref> was based in Virginia at the time of her birth. Case's parents, who were teenagers when they had her, are of Ukrainian ancestry.<ref name=ExclaimTimeline /> Her parents divorced when Case began school.<ref name=ExclaimTimeline /> In her memoir, Case indicated that she was told that her mother died of cancer when she was in the second grade, but only two years later, she was told that this was not correct. After that, her mother flitted in and out of her life, and eventually Case cut ties with her mother for good. As she writes in the book, she had a revelation: "Perhaps her mother had never been sick at all."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Case's family relocated several times during her childhood due to her stepfather's work as an archaeologist. She lived in Western Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon and Washington.<ref name=ExclaimTimeline /> She considers Tacoma, Washington to be her hometown.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Case left home and was legally emancipated at age 15.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> By the age of 18 she was performing as a drummer for the Del Logs and the Propanes, playing in venues including a punk club called the Community World Theater.<ref name=ExclaimTimeline />
Music career
Vancouver
In 1994, Case moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, to attend the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, leaving without a degree in 1998.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Francois Marchand, "The miseducation of Neko Case", The Vancouver Sun, April 8, 2015. Retrieved July 27, 2018.</ref> While in Vancouver, she played drums in several local bands, including the Del Logs, the Propanes, the Weasels, Cub, and Maow.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> These bands were, for the most part, local punk groups. Case said of the vibrant Vancouver punk rock scene at that time, "A lot of women wanted to play music because they were inspired, because it was an incredibly good time for music in the Northwest. There was a lot of clubs, a lot of bands, a lot of people coming through, a lot of all-ages stuff—it was a very exciting time to live there."<ref name=Furious-Thrice />
In 1998, she left Canada for Seattle, Washington. Before going, Case recorded vocals for a few songs that ended up on Mass Romantic, the New Pornographers' first album. Her lead vocals on songs like "Letter from an Occupant" are straightforward, full-volume power-pop performances, shedding any country elements. Released on November 28, 2000, Mass Romantic became a surprise success.<ref name="WMC">Template:Cite web</ref> Although the band was originally conceived as a side project for its members, the New Pornographers remain a prominent presence in the indie rock world, having released their ninth album in 2023.
In addition to recording with the New Pornographers, Case collaborates with other Canadian musicians, including the Sadies and Carolyn Mark, and has recorded material by several noted Canadian songwriters, in particular on her 2001 EP Canadian Amp. As a result, she is also considered a significant figure in Canadian music—both CBC Radio 3 and the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada have referred to Case as an "honourary Canadian".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 2018 Case performed at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival.<ref>"41st Vancouver Folk Music Festival still true to tradition, still young at heart" Template:Webarchive. July 14, 2018, Vancouver Weekly, Paul Hecht and Elmira Kuznetsova</ref>
Seattle
Case embraced country music on her 1997 album, The Virginian. The album contained original compositions as well as covers of songs by Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn and the 1974 Queen song "Misfire".<ref name="Peppiatt2004">Template:Cite book</ref> When the album was released, critics compared Case to honky-tonk singers like Lynn and Patsy Cline, and to rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson, particularly in her vocal timbre.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On February 22, 2000, Case released her second solo album, Furnace Room Lullaby. The album introduced the country noir elements that have defined Case's subsequent solo career. That tone was evident even from the cover photo, featuring Case sprawled out corpse-like on a concrete floor.
Case sometimes tours with Canadian singer and songwriter Carolyn Mark as the Corn Sisters.<ref name=holliston>Tom Holliston, "The Corn Sisters" Template:Webarchive. CBC Music. Retrieved 10 April 2013.</ref> One of their performances, at Seattle's Hattie's Hat restaurant in Ballard, was recorded and released as an album, The Other Women, on November 28, 2000.<ref name=holliston />
Chicago
In October 1999, around the time Furnace Room Lullaby was released, Case left Seattle<ref name=Furious-Thrice /> for Chicago because she felt that Seattle was no longer hospitable to its local artists.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Case's first work in Chicago was an eight-song EP that she recorded in her kitchen. Canadian Amp, her first recording without Her Boyfriends, was released on her own Lady Pilot label in 2001. She wrote two of the tracks, with the remaining six being covers, including Neil Young's "Dreaming Man" and Hank Williams' "Alone and Forsaken". Four of the covers were written by Canadian artists. The EP was initially available only at Case's live shows and directly from Mint Records' website, but it eventually saw wider release.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
Case also recorded her third full-length album, Blacklisted, while living in Chicago.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In April 2003, Case was voted the "Sexiest Babe of Indie Rock" in a Playboy.com internet poll, receiving 32% of the vote. Playboy asked her to pose nude for the magazine, but she declined their offer. She told Entertainment Weekly that
I didn't want to be the girl who posed in Playboy and then—by the way—made some music. I would be really fucking irritated if after a show somebody came up to me and handed me some naked picture of myself and wanted me to sign it instead of my CD.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
Neko Case & Her Boyfriends
Case recorded and toured for several years as Neko Case & Her Boyfriends before performing solely under her name. Albums released as Neko Case & Her Boyfriends include The Virginian (1997) and Furnace Room Lullaby (2000). She primarily performed her own material, but also performed and recorded cover versions of songs by artists such as My Morning Jacket, Harry Nilsson, Loretta Lynn, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Scott Walker, Randy Newman, Queen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sparks and Hank Williams.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
New Pornographers
The 2010 New Pornographers album Together features Case as lead vocalist on "Crash Years" and "My Shepherd."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The 2014 album Brill Bruisers features Case as lead vocalist on "Champions of Red Wine" and "Marching Orders."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The 2017 album Whiteout Conditions features Case as lead vocalist on "Play Money" and "This is the World of the Theater."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Solo
Blacklisted
Case recorded her third full-length album, Blacklisted, in Tucson, Arizona. It was the first full-length album credited to Case alone, without Her Boyfriends, and was released on Bloodshot Records on August 20, 2002. Some believe the title Blacklisted alludes to Case being banned for life from the Grand Ole Opry because she took her shirt off during a performance on August 4, 2001, at one of their outdoors "Opry Plaza" concerts,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=guardian13Mar2009>Template:Cite news</ref> though Case herself has denied this.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Asked about the incident in 2004, Case said "I had heatstroke. People would love it to be a 'fuck you' punk thing. But it was actually a physical ailment thing."<ref>[1]Template:Dead link</ref>
.jpg)
Most of the album's fourteen songs are originals; the exceptions being covers of "Running Out of Fools", previously a hit for Aretha Franklin, and "Look for Me (I'll Be Around)" previously performed by Sarah Vaughan. Blacklisted finds Case even deeper in a "country noir" mood, and was described by critics as lush, bleak, and atmospheric. Case cited filmmaker David Lynch, composer Angelo Badalamenti, and Neil Young's soundtrack to the film Dead Man as influences.<ref name=nekocaseinterview>Template:Cite web</ref>
The Tigers Have Spoken
In April 2004, Case played several shows with longtime collaborators the Sadies in Chicago and Toronto. These shows were recorded and released as a live album, The Tigers Have Spoken, by Anti Records in October 2004.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood was released on March 7, 2006. The album was recorded primarily in Tucson, over the course of two years as Case worked on the live The Tigers Have Spoken and continued to play with the New Pornographers. Critics hailed the record not only for Case's trademark vocals but also her use of stark imagery and non-standard song structures. Fox Confessor Brings the Flood wound up on many "Best of 2006" lists, such as No.1 on the Amazon.com music editors' picks and No. 2 on NPR's All Songs Considered. The album debuted at No. 54 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It contains Case's most autobiographical song, "Hold On, Hold On". Case said: "the song is actually about me. It's not metaphorical about other people. It's not little pieces of my life made into a story about someone else or someone fictitious."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
"Hold On, Hold On" has since been covered by Marianne Faithfull on her 2009 album Easy Come, Easy Go.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> It was used over an episode of The Killing (Season 1 Episode 6) before the final credits, and in the 2015 film One More Time. "John Saw That Number" was used in the snowboarding movie "City. Park City".
Middle Cyclone
Case's next album, Middle Cyclone, was released on March 3, 2009. In advance of a U.S. and European tour, Case appeared as a musical guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Later in 2009 she also appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Amazon.com rated Middle Cyclone the number one album of 2009.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Middle Cyclone debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts in its first week of release, making it Case's first album ever to reach the top ten in the United States.
At the time of its release, no other record from an independent record company had debuted at a higher position in 2009.<ref> Template:Cite news </ref> She toured extensively to promote Middle Cyclone with dates in North America, Europe, and Australia, as well as a performance at Lollapalooza 2009 in Grant Park, Chicago.
The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You
In June 2013, Case announced a new album, The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You, which was released on September 3.<ref name="13album">Template:Cite news</ref>
Hell-On
In early March, 2018, Case released a teaser for an album titled Hell-On, her first solo work in almost five years. The teaser featured Case lying down singing a song of the same name while snakes move around her. The album was released on June 1, 2018.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule
On November 13, 2015, Case released a compilation vinyl box set containing eight of her solo albums. The set contains her first six studio albums, including the first vinyl pressing of The Virginian, as well as a live album.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Personal life
In a 2013 NPR interview, while discussing her single "Man", Case described having complicated feelings of gender and femininity: "I don't really think of myself specifically as a woman, you know? I'm kind of a critter... I'm probably a little imbalanced in that if you were to look at a human creature as kind of a vase or something, my glass is a little bit more full of the man stuff than the woman stuff".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> As of November 2025, her Twitter bio listed her pronouns as "She/Sir".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Speaking with PBS News Hour in 2025 to promote her memoir, Case mentioned that she had "never felt like a girl" and described herself as "a genderfluid person".<ref>Template:Cite AV media</ref>
