2016. case/lang/veirs shot by Jason Quigley.

Supergroups are all the rage these days and while there are a few disastrous missteps, a lot of these collaborations are bearing sweet musical fruit. The newly formed trio of Neko Case, k. d. lang, and Laura Veirs—simply named case/lang/veirs—definitely seems to be falling into that second camp.

Today, case/lang/veirs announced their self-titled debut and shared the LP’s lead single “Atomic Number.” The track blends the women’s three distinct sounds into one lush and angelic voice. The sparse instrumentation in “Atomic Number” allows the group’s vocal strength to shine even brighter.

While there’s no confirmation of the longevity of case/lang/veirs, the trio will be extensively touring in support of their album this summer. Listen to “Atomic Number” and check out case/lang/veirs‘ track listing below.
