Bio
Cook and the Case are a band with a clear ethos. Emotionally driven meticulously crafted songs held together by unforgettable melodies, always using real instruments and always having something to say in a fresh and often surprising manner. All their recordings are live, all their live shows are unique. The band are a group of multi-talented, multi-instrumentalists who create something totally individual and utterly breathtaking.
Review by Greenman Music (full original article http://www.greenmanmusic.biz/?p=932)
Dan Cook is a man that knows how to use space in music, even with a full band behind him the arrangements are such that it seems to only want to form the shell around compartments filled with atmosphere and a weight of expectation, pauses that build and break into the next chord or word or beat. If music is seen as the colour that paints a blank canvas, these songs are delicate watercolour washes aimed more at organising the nothingness of the background than feeling the need to totally envelope the space available.
At a time when much music seems driven by empty emotions and clichéd messages, Cook and the Case is the perfect antidote to such banality, honest, intelligent, passionate – a total breath of fresh air.
