Cranes: Translucent Silver Vinyl LP Talking Heads Historian’s Introduction to Act IICranes is a dream pop shoegaze band formed by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw who rose to stardom following a world tour with the Cure in 1992. After the influential Dedicated label folded in 1998 they went on a two year hiatus after which they set up their own label Dadaphonic. Here, they released three studio albums between 2001 and 2008, of which this self titled record is their last. After some 17 years, Cranes is finally available on vinyl.
