Theatre Centre features stage adaptation of Christie novel

Neko Case played and toured with bands for a decade before she realized it was her job.

Case said in an interview that even though she knew music was her obsession, she “didn’t feel worthy of calling myself a ‘musician.’ It was just too sacred.”

The American singer-songwriter is best known for her solo career and as the singer with Canadian indie rock group The New Pornographers. She’s currently headlining her own tour, which stops in Chattanooga tonight, Jan. 25.

She has released eight albums, two of which reached No. 1 on U.S. indie charts: 2009’s “Middle Cyclone” and 2013’s “The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You.”

Now more than 20 years into her calling, she has released a vinyl box set of her solo discography on Anti label. All eight titles are remastered from their original analog tape and made available on 180 gram black vinyl, some for the first time in years, or ever. The set also includes an 80-page, limited-edition, full-color book of photography, designed and curated by Case herself.

“The release of this set gives listeners an excuse to appreciate the scope of one of the most individual and passionate artists making music today,” says Anti label head Andy Kaulkin. “When you take it all in, Neko’s journey from punk/country torchbearer to avant pop icon has been staggering. This box makes a strong case for her fierceness of vision, pristine musical craft, unflinching lyrics and of course … that voice!”
