Cranes - Loved - Vinyl Record LP 180g Import
Siblings Alison and Jim Shaw crafted something quietly powerful with Loved, the third Cranes album. Released in 1994 on Dedicated Records, it threads shoegaze, dream pop, and darkwave into songs that feel fragile and forceful at the same time. Alison's ethereal vocals float over layers of distorted guitar and delicate orchestration, pulling listeners into a world that's equal parts beauty and unease.
"Shining Road" opens with a burst of melodic warmth, while "Lilies" and "Beautiful Friend" showcase the band's gift for pairing lush arrangements with an undercurrent of tension. The title track strips things back to something raw and intimate. "Paris and Rome" closes the album proper with over six minutes of slow-building atmosphere, before hidden track "In the Night" offers one last haunting send-off.
This Music on Vinyl pressing is cut on 180g audiophile vinyl and packaged in a sleeve with an alu-brush finish, with a printed insert included. Essential listening for fans of Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, and Mazzy Star.

If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
