This track is from Neko Case's first solo effort of the same name.
Case was born in Virginia, raised in Olympia, Washington, and now lives in Chicago.
She did a degree in fine arts at the Emily Carr School of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC. It was in Vancouver that she joined grrll group Maow who recorded two CDs for Mint Records.
After Maow disbanded Case recorded her alt. country album 'the Virginian' also for Mint.
'The Virginian' is an astonishing song from a great solo debut by gifted artist.
from The Virginian (Mint Records MRD-027), available on CD
Neko Case has dropped 'the Boyfriends' and pushed the musical boundaries with her new album 'Blacklisted.'
She's moving away from alt. country and incorporating more elements from jazz, soul and experimental music.
The best example of this is Outro for Bees (Reprise), a hidden track on the album. It incorporates jazz(ish) vocals with found sounds to create music that sounds like a badly tuned radio. Very effective and musically challenging...I'd like to hear more like this from her!
available on CD - Blacklisted (Mint Records (Canada) Bloodshot (US))
