MAGAZINE November 2008
..the
blend of pretty melodies, other worldly atmospheres and twinkling electronica
dovetails nicely with today’s ‘folktronica’ scene. …the one chord ‘Worlds’, the
French sung Panorama and Wonderful Things, with its circular acoustic guitar
pattern are hauntingly lovely.
ROCK
SOUND December 2008
…their
immersion in electronic soundscapes works beautifully with Shaw’s other worldly
melodies….on the truly lovely ‘Feathers’, the results are stunning. 7/10
UNCUT December 2008
With
their minimalist lyrics and demo-like pieces Cranes have remained an enigmatic
package-but their magic is how they use these resources to create an off-beat
beauty.
MUSIC
WEEK September 30 2008
‘Worlds’
and ‘Wires’ are typically infectious Cranes guitar-strummers, unfolding from
hazy intros to wrap the listener in a dreamworld of strings and loops…The album
gets more introspective as it progresses; ‘Invisible’, ‘Move Along’ and
‘Sleepwalking’ being largely instrumental, the latter- like its title- so much
so that it rouses itself into life, eventually slumbering and disappearing
inside a fuzzy haze of feedback…
