Neko Richelle Case is an American singer-songwriter and member of the Canadian indie rock group the New Pornographers. Case has a powerful, untrained contralto voice, which has been described by contemporaries and critics as a 'flamethrower,' 'a powerhouse [which] seems like it might level buildings,' 'a 120-mph fastball,' and a 'vocal tornado'. Critics also note her idiosyncratic, 'cryptic,' 'imagistic' lyrics, and credit her as a significant figure in the early 21st-century American revival of the tenor guitar. 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.
