Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullaby

Before she became one of the most celebrated voices in modern American songwriting, Neko Case was carving her own path with Furnace Room Lullaby. Originally released in 2000, the album stands as a striking early statement, blending alt country grit, rockabilly swagger, and torch song melancholy into a sound that felt both timeless and confrontational. Backed by Her Boyfriends, Case delivers performances that are ferocious, vulnerable, and unmistakably her own.

The songs on Furnace Room Lullaby hint at the lyrical depth and emotional intensity that would define her later work, while retaining the rough-edged charm of a band still testing its limits. It is a record filled with haunted narratives, sharp wit, and a voice that cuts straight through the noise.

This long out-of-print album has been newly remastered from the original analog tapes and reissued, complete with a full album download card. Arriving alongside renewed interest sparked by her acclaimed box set Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule, this reissue offers longtime fans and new listeners alike the chance to rediscover a crucial chapter in Neko Case’s evolution.
