Has anyone heard of Neko Case? I discovered her last year (kinda late, I'll admit) when that show 'On the Edge of Country' featured a video of her's. I can't remember the name of the song but it showed scenes from that Cate Blanchett movie 'The Gift' in it, so it was obviously a couple of years old, even then. More recently, my husband got the album 'Fox Confessor Brings the Flood' and I am officially a big ol' fan! Her video for 'Maybe Sparrow' is in pretty heavy rotation on the above mentioned show, and it gives me chills. It's my favorite song from the album. But really, the whole thing is worth your time.
I guess you could say her genre is contemporary folk but that just doesnt seem to really convey the idea of her sound. Very original.
