Cranes: Sun and Sky
Cranes second full length album, 1993’s Forever, shows that they were broadening their skills away from the grinding metal and electronics that dominated their 1986 cassette only debut, Fuse and the landmark follow-up EP Self-non-Self.
However, Sun and Sky goes back to basics, with a monumental bassline that serves to pin up Alison Shaw’s signature ghost-child vocals. Listen closer however, and you’ll find strummed acoustic guitars, acting to support the rhythm and pad-like wavering guitar lines which lead the breaks.
