GRAMMY-nominated iconoclast Neko Case released her highly anticipated new studio album Neon Grey Midnight Green via Anti- Records in September.
Fans and critics alike have already embraced Neko Case’s Neon Grey Midnight Green as one of 2025’s best and an essential album of her catalog. After kicking off her tour with a sold-out show at Levon Helm’s Woodstock studio, she brought three of the album’s tracks to life with a fierce performance on CBS Saturday Morning this past weekend including ‘Wreck,’ currently #1 on the Non-Comm and Americana radio charts.

Praise for ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’:
“The lauded artist’s new album is a tribute to her late idols and to music at its most communal and authentic” – Entertainment Weekly
“Rife with lush arrangements, the album is breath of fresh air and unguarded hope, catching Case at a point in life in which she feels like she’s accessing a better side of herself.” – Pitchfork
“It has totally knocked me out … she is one of our all-time great songwriters.” – Stephen Thompson, NPR
“A thrill ride through shifting tones and tempos, anchored by her vivid imagery and titanic voice… on the “Neon Grey Midnight Green” album, Case was intent on inviting a large number of musicians to join her, and their power is evident.” – Associated Press
“Fearless singer-songwriter calls it as she sees it in dramatic ninth solo outing.” – MOJO, ★★★★
“ ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’ … ranks among her best … colorful, detailed, unpredictable, and full. The fact that its fullness comes from musical collaboration makes it an even more rewarding listen.” – AV Club
“She has cultivated one of the most distinctive voices in American song. Her albums unravel like musical picaresques: restlessly digressive, bluntly funny, strange — but never in ways you’d anticipate.” – Stereogum
“Intimate and exhilaratingly 3D, with sounds springing up in unusual places, unexpectedly dimmed or boosted, or changing their nature, none of which breaks the spell.” – Uncut
“A cinematic, lyrically rich, beautifully recorded collection of personal songs that blows the doors off of the confines of genre in respect to what is “expected” of an artist. This album rests on zero laurels and is Neko Case through and through.” – Tape Op
“ ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’ offers all of the qualities listeners have come to expect from a Neko Case album: Her nonpareil voice brings its vast scope of tones and timbres from husky lows to belting peaks, which can kick you in the groin as readily as they can swaddle your bleeding heart or transport you across oceans.” – Slate
“ ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’ demonstrates that Neko Case remains fully engaged in creating music that is entirely her own … The push and pull between Case’s desire to use unconventional songwriting ideas but continue to rely heavily on strong melodies makes this a fascinating record. It’s a strong contender for one of the year’s best albums.” – PopMatters
