Case Oats

Case Oats began life seven years ago when Casey Gomez Walker, a writer and poet with some experience in bands, met Spencer Tweedy, a seasoned drummer who has performed with Jeff Tweedy, Waxahatchee, Mavis Staples, and Norah Jones. Not long after meeting, they started writing songs together, and in the time since their formation, Case Oats have homed in on a lived-in sound that complements Gomez Walker’s wry, confessional lyrics. “Seventeen” is a perfect “hello” from the band, brooding and playful and pitched to the left of their country-rock cradle, a poem expressed like a 1 a.m. torch song on a long-lost iPod that strikes a riveting balance between Iris DeMent and Kimya Dawson.
