Wild Creatures (2023)

"Neko Case has firmly established herself as one of the singular artists of her time, creating a body of work that never fails to impress with her silky but bold vocals, her inventive melodic sense, her atmospheric and evocative arrangements, and lyrics that are deeply personal and artful while also being powerfully direct and emotionally forceful. 25 years in her solo career, she's offered her own idiosyncratic version of the career-overview compilation with "Wild Creatures". Featuring liner notes from the likes of David Byrne, Jeff Tweedy, Shirley Manson, and Rosanne Cash, "Wild Creatures" offers 22 carefully chosen tracks. Case showed how much she could communicate with her subtle but perfectly punctuated phrasing, her razor-sharp intelligence and dark wit, and her ability to convey a broad range of emotions and ideas with her smooth but fearless delivery. Her expressive range feels limitless, she makes her brilliance look easy. "Wild Creatures" is a deeply satisfying. (AllMusic; 4.5 uit 5 sterren)
