“We definitely came at it knowing that it was going to be a strange situation, because all three of us are alpha personalities who run our own bands,” Neko Case reflected during a 2016 Lenny interview. A tutorial in how best to synthesize the respective strengths of multiple creators while elevating their unique charms, Case, k.d. Lang and Laura Veirs’ inaugural collaborative effort is a contemporary masterpiece of crystalline beauty, unfettered grace, and revelatory depth. Fortunately, the album eschews the predictable, cookie-cutter 1-2-3 harmonies for a far more balanced approach, one that finds the trio equally comfortable with sharing the same vocal space as they are in playing a supporting role while deferring the spotlight to one. Guaranteed to give its listeners incurable goosebumps and spine-tingling chills upon first and repeated listens, case/lang/veirs is simply wonderful.
