Jedd BeaudoinHOST
Her first album in six years, Show Me, is out October 30th via Kill Rock Stars.
Jedd BeaudoinHOST
Co-produced by her, as well as Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner of Tune-Yards, the record also features contributions from Neko Case and The Linda Lindas.
Jedd BeaudoinHOST
A deeply personal album, it was inspired by major life changes and their aftermath.
Jedd BeaudoinHOST
The results is a multi-layered collection that is contemplative and sincere, and which invites listeners to delve more deeply into the world that Thao has created.
Grace EastHOST
That's amazing.
Casey EmmerlingNARRATOR
So for the show, the Nighthawks re-recorded a bunch of songs from the '20s, and they had famous singers like Elvis Costello and St. Vincent and Neko Case record the vocals, and that was how they crafted the soundtrack of that show.
Grace EastHOST
No way.
Casey EmmerlingNARRATOR
So here's St. Vincent singing that same song that we just heard, Make Believe.
PeterHOST
But the result came out this past summer and is a beautiful release all around.
PeterHOST
The song that we're going to hear is called The Hole in the Wall, featuring vocals from Neko Case.
PeterHOST
And we'll see where things go from there on this Monday morning on The A.M. ¶¶ How I miss
Neko CaseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
those days with you Colored lights and bright faces Who came and went with street calls Shouldering guitars Traipsing through your long apartment That hazy hall in the wall After a show, after a show, after a show We were high on ideas and cigarettes and downstairs pizza.

PeterHOST
Petrels, In Fang Thief, and the song The Killing of the Divine King.
PeterHOST
Before that, we had Automatic putting their spin on Joy Division's Shadow Play.
PeterHOST
And we started off the set with Dallas Good and Richard Reed Perry, along with Neko Case.
PeterHOST
From their collaborative release, Where the Watch Towers, the song was The Hole in the Wall.
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
They have a, a new-ish album out called The Former Site of.
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
Uh, two of the best-known members of that band are Neko Case, who is a very dynamic, talented singer-songwriter in her own right, and then Dan Bejar, who performs as, uh, Destroyer, who's also very popular and acclaimed.
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
And so Neko Case and Destroyer are performing on the same bill at Water Street.
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
That show's happening October 24th.
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
What was I saying? I was saying it's sort of like an Avengers type situation.
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
Like The New Pornographers are the Avengers and the...
Patrick HoskinCORRESPONDENT
I don't know if Neko Case-
Michaela SingletonHOST

Neko CaseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As numb as I've become.
Rob HarvillaHOST
Her name is Neko Case, N-E-K-O.
Rob HarvillaHOST
Admiring critics on the internet have variously described Neko's voice as a flamethrower, a powerhouse that seems like it might level buildings, and 120-mile-per-hour fastball in a vocal tornado.
Rob HarvillaHOST
I just looked it up, and flamethrower is me.
Rob HarvillaHOST
Flamethrower was my description, apparently, from an interview I did with her in 2018.
Rob HarvillaHOST
But actually, flamethrower is my least favorite of those descriptions.
Rob HarvillaHOST
I feel like I could have tried a little harder to do justice to Neko Case's voice.
Rob HarvillaHOST
This song is called I Wish I Was the Moon from her 2002 album Blacklisted.
Callie KhouriGUEST
That's, that's interesting." And then my husband, who's a music producer, a musician named T Bone Burnett, I, I asked him, like, "If we were going to do this as a musical, who do you think would be a great person to do the music?" Because we had obviously talked about hundreds of people.
Callie KhouriGUEST
And he goes, "Oh, Neko Case.
Callie KhouriGUEST
That's, that's the only person I can think of that could really do it justice." And as soon as he said that, I knew that that was right because Neko is, first of all, such an extraordinary, deeply talented poet, and her expression of the world through her music is just unlike anything, anyone else.
Callie KhouriGUEST
You know? And I didn't think that this would be like a typical musical, and that it would need someone who could go all the way there, which as you witnessed, she was able to do quite-
BrentHOST

BrentHOST
Getting, getting blown away.
BrentHOST
We've both been at shows with, like, 15 people and had our minds blown, and just told everybody, "You gotta come and see this band next time they, they come through."
RyanHOST

BrentHOST
Yeah
