...Crane Wife' fluctuates slightly more. It moves from very hard rock, to very soft balids, to even (dare I say it) almost a pop/disco feel It's just like The Decemberists to start at the end. Anyone can start at the begining of the story, but isin't it more fun to start at the end and finish at the begining? Aparintly it is for the Crane Wife,...

...Crane's late-night TV show on ABC -TV. It was the first place I ever saw The Rolling Stones (an interview, not a performance). And I tuned in to see it the night Dylan was on Crane gave Dylan about a half-hour: 15 minutes of chat (Dylan, in '65, was a notoriously slippery interview subject; I wish I could post the full interview -- the MP3 is...

DECEMBERISTS, THE - The Crane Wife (2006) [rated 4/5 by cookieacquired]

...Crane Wife. Take one of the most Victorian sounding bands since the aforementioned era, and let them loose on an old Japanese tale, and watch the magic unfold. First of all, the tale is told in a Tarantino type fashion, with the end (Part 3) kicking off the album, with that forlorn, dying love gloom that the Decemberists can do over and over...

...Crane Wife as a result. The music sounds at times as full-blown prog (The Island) and at times as good alternative rock (Yankee Bayonet). But even in the latter case, it's all done with an attention to detail and with a richness of craft that it's still very close to prog standards. The music has a distinctive folk-sy flavor to it, american...

...Crane Wife" shows a major progression over "Picaresque", pun intended. The compositions and arrangements have become much more ornate and just generally a lot less folky. That is not to say this is RIO or symphonic prog, since the folk influence is usually apparent, as is the indy rock element that provides such a refreshing change from our...

...Crane Wife 1/2', this album is worth of solid 3 stars, but I'll add an extra star for that massive melodic talent Colin Meloy seems to have. Even filler-like songs are catchy and memorable, with nice lyrics and tasteful arrangements. A new JETHRO TULL? Why not, actually? Some GENESIS can be heard as well, and despite that ugly Indie attitude...

...Crane Wife 3), I immediately knew that another good episode of the band was going to take place. And the feeling was superbly confirmed during the epic The Island. During over twelve minutes, the band plays such a dynamic and varied music. No time to get bored: there is hardly a moment to breathe It is an enchanting moment: fine acoustic...
