Q presents CRANES + The Hard Returns
(Fri 3rd Sept / 8pm / £5)

Time has preserved the beauty of this cult band, a brother and sister
nucleus that has awoken again to bring us their magikal sounds. Angelic torch song, spacious guitar and piano move slowly alongside their
echotronics and sweeping post-gothic instrumentation.

Formed in the late 80's the bands raw emotion but pristine arty aesthetic cut against the cloth of Baggy but fell in favour of THE CURE who they have toured with. After 7 albums they are back with a new album - PARTICLES AND WAVES-, on their own label, that realigns them alongside FRIDGE, COCOROSIE and even the strung out vastness of THE RAPTURE while they retain the
influences that made them such a stand out act - MAZZY STAR, COCTEAU TWINS and THIS MORTAL COIL.

The esoteric and elegant is also among us with the mystical electro
sampling and live wail - song. Feat: RASHA (Mooz/Male) and JEM
(Lovewig/Defcon Stylus).
