Neko Case to Release Box Set

Neko Case just announced Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule, a box set that spans her entire career and includes all eight of her studio titles.

Case explained the inspiration behind the set, which will be available November 13 and is currently up for pre-order, in a press release:

“Being in a band isn’t a race to an awards platform; it is a life, a great and complicated, messy, anxious, hilarious and home-made life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, ever. I gave up a lot of what makes people ‘normal’, but it was always my choice. That is a victory in itself. This is a LONG story, which I will continue later, but for now, here are some images and music to take in and wonder about. I made all this for you and me. Without you, however, the circuit does not complete. Thank you for being here with me and making music.”
