Neko Case is a member of Canadian fuzz-pop group The New Pornographers, but in her solo career, she's a gifted alt country songstress. With a father in the Air Force, Case had a nomadic upbringing before settling in Washington, and then earning a BFA in Vancouver, where her music career began. Time spent creating tunes in Seattle and Chicago bore the fruit of nine studio albums, the most recent of which is 2013's The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You (phew), which includes a cover of Nico's terrifying 1970 song "Afraid."
