Upon placing the new Cranes disc in your CD player, don't simply press the play button.
Instead, go directly to track seven. The appropriately
titled "Fragile" is true beauty, with angst free guitar, celestial atmospherics,
and tender, dub inflected percussion forming the lush foundation over which
singer Alison Shaw soothes by repeating the one word title over and over
again. Once "Fragile" has embedded itself into your subconscious,
investigate other delicate tracks like the lyrically empowering, musically
arty "Sunrise," the captivating "Don't Wake Me Up," and the hopeful "The
Maker of Heavenly Trousers." FYI : The US version of Future Songs includes
three bonus tracks : "In the Reeds" and remixes of "Fragile " and Don't
Wake Me Up"
