DIY folk act Case Studies has a pedigree most probably aren't aware of. Started by former Duke & the Duchess singer Jesse Lortz after the dissolution of that band, Case Studies hovers in similar sonic territory as the Duke & Duchess. But where the Duke & Duchess occasionally found their silver lining, Case Studies is about as bleak as any goth act or campy death metal band. Murder, betrayal, and death permeate almost every song. Ghosts are invoked in more than one song title, past relationships frequently haunt the narrator, and the characters wandering through these songs are never really offered any chance at redemption. Bon Iver, this is not.
