Song of the Day: May 12, 2016 - "Delirium" by case/lang/veirs

May 12, 2016 by Kirk Hamilton in Song Of The Day

Power trio case/lang/veirs, gave us another tease of their upcoming album this week with the fourth song from the self-titled release, "Delirium". 

"At first we thought what can we possibly write about, we don't even know each other, there were no themes," Veirs says. "So k.d. and I were having trouble writing and went on a walk. We saw this firework stand and we started looking at the names of the different fireworks, and one of them was called 'Delirium.' We were like, 'that's a good song title,' and we started building. [Neko] came in and, of course, [she] has a way of making everything great. She can even use one word to totally transform a song. We were writing things like 'the walls are falling in,' you know, trying to find a way of saying this person is in a delirious state. She said 'kaleidoscoping in,' and I was like, that's it! One word and the chorus went from cliché to magical."

case/lang/veirs comes is out June 17th on Anti-, and they'll be at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre for Vancouver International Jazz Fest on June 29th.

Song of the Day: March 04, 2016 - "Atomic Number" by case/lang/veirs

March 04, 2016 by Kirk Hamilton in Song Of The Day

Sometimes supergroups... well, they don't quite live up to the sum of their parts. But other times, boy do they ever. case/lang/veirs is the stunning combination of (you guessed it) Neko Case, k.d. lang, and Laura Veirs. The collaboration started as a whim when lang emailed the other two simple saying "I think we should make a record together."  And even though the three of them were acquaintances at best, Case and Veirs replied immediately to say yes, because of course they would. 

The result is a 14-track self titled album, and if the lead single "Atomic Number" is any indication, it is going to be a magnificent display of their individual talents intertwining for something beautiful.
