Cranes
Haunting, childlike vocals floating over a landscape of repetitive piano and sudden walls of guitar noise. Ethereal dream pop with a sharp, gothic edge.

Formed in Portsmouth in 1986, the British band Cranes explores the intersection of dream pop, gothic rock, and dark wave. Siblings Alison and Jim Shaw established the group, which later signed with RCA Records. The band is widely recognized for the distinctive, childlike vocal style of lead singer Alison Shaw, a defining element of their atmospheric sound that has persisted since their inception in the United Kingdom nearly four decades ago.
