about

Intuitive yet deftly manipulated, Crane Wars nests in the overlap between the organic and inorganic, technology and nature. The band manages to capture sound like landscape photography, seemlessly blending spontaneity with studio mastery. This blurring of boundaries is not an explicit agenda--it is a natural response to sound from players who know their craft. There are clashes and closure between samples, clarion trumpet, guitars, Piazzolla-like accordion, voice, piano and beats. Melodic explorations and textural nuances catch your breath like anything that is beautiful and inexplicable.

Reviews
"Amazing head-scape rock with experimental realism as its foundation." -- Kathleen Maloney, XLR8R

"Vancouver's Beans are the real deal." -- Magnet

"Vancouver-based post-rock quintet Beans established themselves as a leading creative force in melodic experimental music. Strongly recommended..." -- Francois Couture, All Music Guide

An eerie ride into what I imagine it feels like to be a moth. Subterranean beats and deep basses give something akin to a mix of early PiL and Kraftwerk, only darker. strawberrystation

This album is well put together; it put me directly into the shoes of the main character caught up in a "Escape From New York" styled scenario. Brilliant electro-industrial with a spoken word narrative to boot! Steven Gullotta
