Cranes (fucking official)

[SickOfStars]

welp... this band finally got a good rating on pitchfork, so I guess it's time for AP to be introduced to them. The song "Worlds" is fantastic. I also have almost all of their back catalogue if you deem it necessary to look further into them.

Worlds was good, but they are a tad too minimalist for me. I will, however, say that this is one of the few bands I can enjoy female lead vocals in.

[Stephen Chamberlain]

I liked their early stuff.

[Praetor]

RIYL? I hate myspace.

[funkel]

I liked it.

I'd like this as well.

The Pitchfork review says shoegaze and they use a lot of electronics.

will check out

I have to thank you for introducing me to Pomegranates. I've listened to the album 37 times since I got it on last Friday. So good.

[IWasaCamera]

Good band. Can't say the same for Pomegranates.

Childlike female vocals over really heartstring-tugging, dreamy music. The early stuff had lots of distorted guitars and some industrial elements, then after a few albums they softened up but are still really powerful, and they've basically been chugging since then. If you want a taste of the three phases, I would reccommend the newest s/t, Forever, and Self-Non-Self.

Also, RIYL The Cure, I guess. They toured with them in the 90's and thus have a pretty big crossover fanbase.

Alright, sounds awesome. I'll definitely check those out. Also, thanks for the Larry Arms recs, really helpful.

Why don't you like Pomegranates?

Bores me to tears.

Bores me to tears.

I disagree, but that's certainly a good reason.
