(out now on his online store ) On this retrospective, the former Nerves/Plimsouls alum assembles a collection of demos and unreleased outtakes from his lengthy solo career. The folk protest-style songs  generally take issue with the state of the American political and economic immorality, sounding the alarm as it were (a siren can literally be heard blaring at the beginning of “Let’s Turn This Thing Around”) and repeating the exhortation to turn things around, a phrase which recurs later in the album on “Ballad of the Minimum Wage,” where Case talk-sings as an organ intersperses stealthily quiet [...]

The Case Files is not a new Peter Case album per se, but rather an odds and sods collection of demos, outtakes, one live shot and other rarities recorded between 1985 and 2010. Peter Case is hardly a household name, but he has had an indelible impact on popular music during a career that has spanned roughly 35 years.
