case/lang/veirs
Neko Case, k.d. lang, and Laura Veirs are a bewitchingly lovely folk-rock supergroup. On their debut album as case/lang/veirs, the singer/songwriter titans combine their distinctive vocals and beguiling melodies. The songs on which Case takes lead (like the gorgeous opening track “Atomic Number”) are girded with poignant melancholy, while lang’s tracks (the yearning “Blue Fires” is one such highlight) are as smooth and seductive as her legendary croon. Veirs brings a clever indie-rock sensibility to the warm, wonderful “Best Kept Secret.” With its luminous harmonies and lush arrangements, *case / lang / veirs* is a thing of beauty.
The debut from k.d. lang, Neko Case, and Laura Veirs isn’t a springboard or a resting place for any of these vets. It's an exquisite tribute to connection and reflection on the things that bind us.

case/lang/veirs is an understated triumph, and a stunning addition to all three songwriters' discographies.

Had Neko Case, k.d. lang, and Laura Veirs recorded only the track "Atomic Number," it's hard to imagine them even considering not going further.

The album covers torch music, jangle pop, front-porch folk, and alternative country, all with a quiet showmanship.
