Case Conrad is an Indie rock band of four Swedes and one Portuguese, formed in 2009 and spread out between Malmö, Sweden, and Barcelona, Spain. Their sound has been described as "folk-and-surf-inflected dream pop" by magazine Creative Loafing. Gustav Haggren, who formed the group in 2009, says in an interview with Raw And Unheard regarding the band's sound: “I am sure all and neither genre fits. It’s pop songs that we try to play as honest as we can: we experiment, push both our own and each other's limits, but most important is that we aim to keep the process playful and fun, not matter how dark a song may be.” Case Conrad has done several tours in the US and Germany. Gustav Haggren has been featured on compilations together with Be Good Tanyas and J. Tillman and has had music featured in film and TV. Case Conrad’s third album A Tightrope Wish was recorded in Sauerland, Germany, most of it tracked live in the course of five days. The album was recorded and mixed by Michael Vögler and produced by the band. The album will come out September 2016 on Stargazer Records/This Is Forte. The eleven songs features songwriting from both Gustav Haggren and Per Henrik Adolfsson and just like on previous album, Leikko, Haggren and Adolfsson share the lead vocalist post. The songs speak of the mysterious inner and outer worlds that the band has experienced in the past two years, both in their personal lives and during tours in Europe and USA. The band’s geographical situation can be noticed in "The Swim" where Haggren sings about a love affair to the docks of Hamburg and Barcelona – a song that was written in his own port city of Malmö and captures the urge to look for the impossible. History Formation to A Tightrope Wish: 2009 – 2016 The band was formed in 2009 when Gustav Haggren decided to put the band Gustav and the Seasick Sailors to rest after five years and three albums. He formed a sort of a super group by calling up Petter Bengtsson (Shooting John), Robert Johansson (The Tarantula Waltz) and Gustav Bjarnason. The members had all been in different musical groups in the past and found the structure of a band somewhat boring and predictable. So instead they formed a project, called The Case of Conrad, soon they shortened it to Case
