Virginia-born singer-songwriter Neko Case has been releasing solo records for over twenty years. In fact, her solo career predates Case's membership in The New Pornographers. She's also done other projects, including her 2016 album with Laura Veirs and k.d. lang. For her new album, Hell-On, Case was involved in the writing of nearly all the songs, and co-produced the record. Neko Case's calling card is most likely her voice. As she stated for the release of Hell-On: "My style is odd, I don't know what genre this is. I don't have a pretty voice or a trained voice...and for all its loud, heavy-handed, nasal, vibrato-less qualities I accept it."
