Neko Case
Blacklisted
Album · Alternative · 2002 · Anti/Epitaph
For her third studio album, Neko Case tempers the unrulier energies of earlier releases to develop a darker, moodier sound. Made with members of Giant Sand, Calexico, and The Sadies, Blacklisted showcases the former garage-punk drummer as an alt-country artist of rare depth and confidence. Her dexterity as a vocalist is equally impressive; she understands precisely what a performance needs, whether the song’s as full and rich as “Deep Red Bells” or as spare and hushed as “Look for Me (I’ll Be Around).”
