Singer Neko Case has announced the dates for the Spring portion of her 2018-2019 tour, in support of her 2018 album, Hell-On. Neko Case has been performing since the 1990s, honing her voice for over 20 years. One of her most popular songs was 2002’s “I Wish I Was the Moon,” which was released on her album Blacklisted. Her debut album was released in 1997, and was titled Virginian. The album was much more country influenced than her later work would come to be, showing her artistic roots much more clearly. Case went on to gain more mainstream popularity with her album Blacklisted, which was her first major diversion to a more melodic style of music. With much less of a country background, the album marked a change in her music and, after good reviews from critics, garnered her a much larger following. Case has consistently released music since her career began, both by herself and with a variety of other artists.

Her most recent project, Hell-On, was her first as a solo artist in 5 years and contained songs “Curse of the I-5 Corridor” and “Last Lion of Albion.” The album is filled with a mix of more atmospheric songs and those with a stronger country influence. “Curse of the I-5 Corridor” is one of the more artistic cuts from the album, containing 7 minutes of Case’s powerful vocals and entertaining lyricism. The song “Last Lion of Albion” features much more of Case’s roots, as it uses a highly country-influenced instrumental, but also shows her growth with a few more futuristic tones at work.

Neko Case’s newest tour will features shows in a few different countries, including an entire leg of performances in Australia. The tour begins in December 2018 and will go on until the following May. Case will not be touring by herself most of the time, as she will be accompanied by a variety of other acts throughout the tour.
