Sufjan har varit centralpunkten i det jag lyssnat på ett tag. Det är kul hur en artist kan leda till en annan. I detta fall Neko Case. Jag följde länkar för att se var Sufjan skulle spela efter Stockholm. Någonstans såg jag att de skulle spela på samma festival. Intressant.

Wikipedia:

Neko Case is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her solo career and as a member of the New Pornographers.

Her music is frequently labeled alternative country, although Case doesn’t describe it in that way. She recorded and toured for several years as Neko Case & Her Boyfriends before switching to her own name. Case primarily writes her own material, but she also performs and has recorded cover versions of songs by artists such as Loretta Lynn, Tom Waits, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Bob Dylan, and Hank Williams. She frequently infuses humorous narratives into her live sets, a habit she says she gained from her grandmother and Wanda Jackson.

She is protective of her artistic independence, combining punk’s “do it yourself ethic,” a strong business sense, and clear opinions about her artistic goals. She has spurned offers from major record labels because they don’t offer her enough control of her music, remaining affiliated with Mint Records in Canada and Bloodshot and ANTI- in the U.S.

Som sagt, intressant. Jag har börjat att verkligen gilla “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood”-skivan.
