- Cranes are a British music group. Their music has frequently been described as incorporating elements of gothic rock, dream pop, and shoegazing. Formed in the mid 1980s in Portsmouth, England by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw, and named after the innumerable mechanical cranes around the city's docks, Cranes are best known for the childlike, high-pitched vocals of lead singer Alison, memorably likened by the NME to "a beautiful siren being slowly strangled on a spiral staircase of hammer-horror guitars". Early on in their recording and performing career, the music of Cranes borrowed from both the industrial/avant-garde, deconstructive style of bands such as Einstürzende Neubauten, and the ethereal labyrinths of acts like Cocteau Twins. Following a general softening of their sound, the introduction of pop elements to their music, and a world tour with The Cure in 1992, the band's popularity increased, and peaked with the release of the albums Forever and Loved. The band fell silent for a period of approximately four years after the release of Population 4 in 1997, but did not actually break up. In the early 2000s, they began writing music again, and released Future Songs and Particles and Waves on their own label, Dadaphonic. These albums signified a change in the overall style of their music, emphasising its ambient, ethereal qualities. Despite heading in a more electronic direction, however, the band's music continued to revolve around Alison Shaw's distinctive singing.

- Cranes est un groupe britannique de rock, qui s'est formé au milieu des années 80 à Portsmouth. Le nom du groupe se réfère aux innombrables grues mécaniques (« crane » en anglais) qui dominaient le port de Portsmouth jusque dans les années 90. La constante caractéristique du groupe est le chant de la chanteuse Alison Shaw, frêle femme-enfant à la voix particulière, proche de celle de la chanteuse française Vanessa Paradis. Le style musical a évolué d'un rock gothique assez sombre et brutal, dominé par les guitares à des ambiances beaucoup plus calmes et travaillées.
- I Cranes sono un gruppo musicale inglese, spesso descritto come appartenente al genere gothic rock o Dream Pop. Formatisi a Portsmouth verso la metà degli anni '80, sono noti soprattutto per il tono vocale delicato, ma impostato su un registro estrememente alto e simile a quello di una bambina, della cantante Alison Shaw. I Cranes prendono il nome dalle innumerevoli gru (in inglese appunto crane) che si trovano attorno ai moli del porto di Portsmouth. La loro popolarità crebbe notevolmente nel 1992, quando parteciparono ad un tour insieme ai Cure: in questa occasione nacque anche una collaborazione con Robert Smith che curò il remix di alcuni brani dei Cranes, tra cui Jewel, che riscosse un discreto successo presso il pubblico. Dopo il 1997 il gruppo non diede notizie di sé per circa quattro anni ma, dato che Jim e Alison Shaw sono fratello e sorella, la band in realtà non si sciolse mai del tutto. Così, dopo questa pausa, ricominciarono a comporre nuovi brani pubblicando nel 2001 l'album Future Songs, seguito pochi anni dopo da Particles and Waves. Questi lavori hanno rappresentato un cambiamento complessivo del loro stile musicale, che ora tende verso un sound riconducibile all'ambient e dal tono maggiormente etereo. Tuttavia, nonostante questa svolta in direzione della musica elettronica, il gruppo ha comunque mantenuto i suoi tratti più caratteristici, continuando ad imperniare i pezzi sul canto infantile ed ammaliante di Alison Shaw.
- Cranes to brytyjski zespół grający rock gotycki. Powstał w środkowych 80. w Portsmouth, w Anglii. Kojarzeni są z subtelnym, wysokim głosem ich wokalistki, Alison Shaw, opisanej przez New Musical Express jako piękną syrenę duszoną nieśpiesznie na krętej klatce schodowej pełnych grozy gitar. Cranes zyskali na popularności w 1992, kiedy to towarzyszyli The Cure podczas tournée promującego album Wish. Zespół zawdzięcza swoją nazwę niezliczonym dźwigom (cranes to po angielsku żurawie) w dokach przy Portsmouth.
