The post Neko Case Shares New Song “Oh, Shadowless”: Stream appeared first on Consequence.

Neko Case has a new retrospective compilation out today, but that doesn’t mean she’s retired. There’s a new song on her Wild Creatures album called “Oh, Shadowless,” and the singer-songwriter has mapped out a lengthy North American tour.

“Oh, Shadowless” begins as a gentle waltz, with chiming guitars and Case’s sweet vocals swirling together in a genial lullaby. Before long, however, a barrage of feedback and drums break the spell, revealing a sense of foreboding hiding under the surface. It makes sense, then, that Case’s main refrain is “Sandman is coming, but he’s taking too long.” The single comes with a charming stop-motion music video directed by Laura Plansker, and its furry characters can’t seem to get a peaceful night’s sleep, either.

Consequence caught up with Neko Case to gain some insight on her new single, and to look back on her 25-year career. “That’s one of those where I really want people to think about what that means for them,” she said about the track. “I really want people to see the little vest in the thrift store that is the song ‘Oh, Shadowless’ and say, ‘I’m gonna get that! It’s two dollars, and I’m going to try wearing it for a while!'” You can revisit that interview here.

Next week, the artist will head out on tour with a revolving door of support acts, from Indigo Girls to She & Him. See the full list of dates below, and grab tickets via Ticketmaster.
