Our Take

Prepare to be transported to a dreamy, ethereal realm with CRANES' John Peel Sessions (1989-1990). This compilation is a treasure trove of haunting melodies and mesmerizing vocals that will enchant even the most cynical music connoisseurs.

From the opening track, "Joy Lies Within," to the closing notes of "I Hope," CRANES showcase their unparalleled ability to create music that is both otherworldly and deeply emotional. Alison Shaw's ethereal vocals soar above swirling guitars and hypnotic rhythms, creating a sonic landscape that is at once serene and unsettling.

The reverb-drenched guitars and shimmering synths on tracks like "Reach" and "Lilies" evoke a sense of melancholy and longing that is impossible to resist. Each song feels like a delicate, intricate tapestry, woven with threads of beauty and darkness.

The John Peel Sessions capture CRANES at their most raw and vulnerable, stripping away the layers of production to reveal the pure essence of their music. The lo-fi quality of these recordings only adds to their charm, giving the listener a sense of being present in the room with the band as they perform.

In a world of disposable pop music and overproduced singles, CRANES' John Peel Sessions (1989-1990) stands out as a rare gem. This album is a testament to the band's timeless talent and undeniable magic. So, grab a cup of tea, light some candles, and let CRANES take you on a journey through the ethereal depths of their sound. You won't be disappointed.
