Our Take

Oh, dear reader, brace yourself for a journey through the ethereal soundscapes of Cranes Collected Works 1989-1997. This compilation album is a sonic time capsule, showcasing the English band's evolution from post-punk pioneers to dream-pop royalty. From the haunting vocals of Alison Shaw to the atmospheric guitar work of her brother Jim, Cranes' music is a mesmerizing blend of darkness and beauty. Tracks like "Watersong" and "Shining Road" transport listeners to a melancholic dreamworld, while the ethereal "Lilies" and "Adrift" drift like a lost soul through the ether. Listening to this collection, one can't help but marvel at the band's ability to evoke such raw emotion with their minimalist approach. Each song is a delicate balancing act of tension and release, with Shaw's angelic voice soaring above swirling guitars and pulsating drums. While some may find the repetitive nature of the tracks a bit tiresome, others will revel in the hypnotic quality of Cranes' music. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their world, Collected Works 1989-1997 is a must-listen for anyone with a penchant for the darker side of dream-pop. In conclusion, dear reader, Cranes' music may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to dive headfirst into the shadows, this collection is a truly transcendent experience. So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let the haunting beauty of Cranes wash over you like a bittersweet dream.
