Case History was the debut album from British vocalist and guitarist Kevin Coyne who had previously fronted the little known group Siren. It features songs about madness and loneliness.
“Trippy bluesy folk singer/songwriter stuff with way too much reverb on the vocals. Quality material and a distinctive delivery.”
“A fine and haunting album. While his ruminations on madness and desolate human loneliness were even more fully-fleshed on his next album, this is so spare in its instrumentation that it feels a lot more like being inside a person who's experiencing those feelings and experiences.”
“This one sent chills down my spine, and saves me when I'm crazy or sad sometimes. A haunting acoustic blues/folk album featuring a collection of observations about madness, and poetry sung with angst and passion.”
“Having recorded two multi-faceted, blues-influenced albums with the group Siren, Coyne was exposed on Case History as a brutally emotional singer-songwriter who wrote with conviction and sang from the depth of his very soul. Case History offers a fascinating glimpse into an artist in his prime.”
“Kevin Coyne is a much neglected part of the Brit rock scene and this needs addressing. This maybe is not as necessary as Marjory Razorblades but it shows his evolution from the band Siren into that remarkable album. This is an LP that anybody with an interest in an eccentric British take on rock music needs.”
