艺人介绍

Cranes是90年代早期的一支重要的trance-pop/shoegazing风格的乐队，他们的音乐是仙乐人声与喧嚣吉他旋律的混合物，其音乐的特点是将轻渺的人声、旋律与喧吵低沉的吉他声响进行结合。

Cranes乐队是由兄妹俩Jim（担任鼓手）和Alison Shaw（担任主唱）于1988年在英国的朴次茅斯组建，2年后，吉他手Mark Francombe以及贝司手Matt Cope加入乐队。1990年，乐队以盒带的方式独立地发行了他们的第一张专辑《Fuse》，其后，当地的一个厂牌在同年发表了乐队的另一专辑《Self Non Self》并获得了不错的评价。以上两部作品促使了Cranes与英国Dedicated厂牌签订唱片和约，不久，乐队在该厂牌旗下发表第一张EP作品《Inescapable》，该EP使Cranes受到了许多关注，其中包括了Melody Maker媒体的封面报道，接着的第二张EP作品《Espero》也获得了评论界的一致好评，其中单曲还被Melody Maker评为了Single of the Week。

1991年，乐队发行了在Dedicated旗下的第一张专辑《Wings of Joy》，该专辑在大洋两岸皆获好评，乐队也有了相当的追随者，其中便包括了the Cure乐队的Robert Smith，Smith选择Cranes作为the Cure乐队的92世界巡演的开场，这使得Cranes进一步扩大了影响。1993年，乐队的第二张专辑《Forever》发表，该专辑没有引起多大反响，但是94年的《Loved》使Cranes乐队获得了商业上的成功。在1996年发表了限量作品《Tragedy of Orestes》和《Electra》后，Cranes发表了《Population 4》，但此时乐队的听众已开始减少，次年，乐队重又发行《Self Non Self》，此后乐队沉寂数年并重新定位其音乐方向。2001年的作品《Future Songs》脱离了乐队原来的音乐风格转而为一种梦幻流行乐之声。

Cranes were one of the major trance-pop/shoegazing groups of the early 90s, combining ethereal vocals and melodies with loud, droning guitars. Cranes were formed by brother and sister Jim (drums) and Alison Shaw (vocals) in 1988 in Portsmouth, England; guitarist Mark Francombe and bassist Matt Cope joined the band two years later. The group independently released their first album, Fuse, on cassette in 1990; a small local label released Self Non Self the same year to good reviews. Both sets of music led to a record contract with Dedicated, an English record label. Later that year, they released their first EP for the label, Inescapable, which earned them a lot of attention, including a Melody Maker cover story; a second EP, Espero, also earned positive reviews, including a Melody Maker Single of the Week. The following year, the band released their first album on Dedicated, Wings of Joy, which received favorable reviews on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as earning the band a sizable cult following, including the Cures Robert Smith; Smith picked Cranes to open for the Cure on their 1992 world tour, which earned them a larger audience. Forever, the groups second album, was released in 1993. It expanded their cult slightly, yet 1994s Loved found the band in a holding pattern commercially. After releasing the limited-edition Tragedy of Orestes and Electra in late 1996, Cranes returned with Population 4, which was greeted with mixed reviews and found the groups cult shrinking. Self Non Self followed the next year, but then the group took a few years off to rethink their musical direction. Future Songs, released in 2001, is a departure from their former material and step toward a dream pop sound. Particles & Waves appeared four years later.
