“Halls of Sarah” by Neko Case

"Halls of Sarah" sits on Hell-On, the seventh album Neko Case released through Anti- in June 2018, a record made mostly in Stockholm during a rough stretch: stalkers were already hounding her, and a fire destroyed her Vermont farmhouse while she was off in Sweden working on it.

Case wrote the song with guitarist Paul Rigby and produced it alongside Peter Bjorn and John's Björn Yttling, who also plays guitar and keyboard. The credits read like a small, strange chamber band: Doug Gillard on guitar and harpsichord, Steve Berlin's baritone sax, Joey Burns on bass, Barbara Gruska on drums and percussion. Case stacks her own voice with Rachel Flotard, Kelly Hogan and Laura Veirs singing behind her, and she mixed it herself with Lasse Mårtén.
