Case Studies
With his previous project, The Dutchess & the Duke, Jesse Lortz cultivated a distinct indie version of Between the Buttons-era Rolling Stones. With Lortz’s new project, sans the Dutchess, the styling is more psychedelic folk. Songs range from “The Eagle, or the Serpent,” an early Dylan-esque strummer with enchanting background la-la-la vocals and light string accompaniment, to “California Ghost Story,” a haunting track slightly reminiscent of Nick Cave.
