Neko Case on Neon Grey Midnight Green, Making an Album About Music, and Why Spiders Deserve Better PR: Podcast
"The people I'm singing about, they are the place they're trying to go,"
"They are the big deal. They are the event."
"People will sometimes interpret my songs in ways that are so much more interesting than I interpreted them,"
"I don't correct them because I want them to have that as their version of it."
Neon Grey Midnight Green celebrates music itself, its makers, listeners, and the communal electricity when those groups meet in the same room. The record frames musicians, engineers, fans, and audiences as completing the same circuit, emphasizing connection over personal diary. The sequencing plays with expectation by opening with "Destination" and presenting songs like "Tomboy Gold" as companion pieces that refract earlier moments. Listeners often find meanings beyond the songwriter's intent, and those interpretations are embraced. Sonically the record rejects polish in favor of presence, intentionally sounding like "a bunch of people in a room." Confidence and self-trust inform the album's perspective.
