Case Conrad

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 Sigala Haggren (also in <a href="spotify:artist:6rikEkKAXW1hG1QX7Uf8pn" data-name="Haggren Gravlund">Haggren Gravlund</a> and Bells Fell Silent, who formed the group in 2009, says in an interview with Raw And Unheard: “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&#39;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 Sigala 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 Germany, tracked live in the course of five days. The eleven songs features songwriting from Gustav Sigala Haggren and Per Henrik Adolfsson an like previous album, ‘Leikko’, Haggren and Adolfsson share the lead vocalist post. The songs speak of the mysterious inner and outer worlds that the band experienced both in their personal lives and during tours.


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.
