Grammy-nominated songwriter Neko Case has unveiled her latest single, “Winchester Mansion of Sound,” a sprawling piano epic that serves as a central pillar of her new album ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’. The track is a heartfelt tribute to her late friend and psychobilly pioneer Dexter Romweber of the Flat Duo Jets, written two years before his 2024 passing. Musically, Case draws on the melancholic depth of Robbie Basho and the bittersweet rhythm of nursery rhymes to capture a sense of “all-consuming love.” The song arrived alongside a visualizer and follows the lead single “Wreck,” providing a glimpse into an album that explores human nature, the natural world, and the volatile beauty of connection.
Out now via ANTI- Records, ‘Neon Grey Midnight Green’ marks Case’s first studio album in seven years. The record is a significant milestone for the artist as her first entirely self-produced effort, recorded live with a full band at her Vermont studio, Carnassial Sound. Case, who identifies as gender fluid, has expressed immense pride in the self-produced nature of the project, emphasizing her vision and creative control. The album’s release follows a prolific year for Case, which saw her memoir, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, hit the New York Times best sellers list in January. As she prepares to embark on a massive 2026 North American tour starting January 8 in Montreal, Case continues to cement her legacy as one of music’s most evocative and uncompromising storytellers.
