Press on this record

"This EP is too short!...I am highly recommending it." Amy Lotsberg, Collected Sounds.

"Crane's music is mature, minimalist, and she's got a depth to her voice that lends credence to even her most mythical poetic wanderings...Finally, here's a girl-guitar combo that is unapologetic but never angsty". Jordan Levinson, Urban Folk.

"Finally some good talent. A great album with insights beyond the ordinary...Annie's beautiful voice constantly uplifts the material, making every selection (no matter the genre or instrumentation) well worth hearing. She is long overdue to be discovered. Way to go Annie!!!" Jon Katz, CD Baby Fan Review

   About Annie Crane
Annie Crane was born into an upstate NY home and since her birth has taken with her the stories of immigrant grandparents, the chills of February ice storms, flowers from the tops of the northern Cascades, sunfish from Oxbow Lake, heartache from snowy Toronto streets and an industrially sweet Brooklyn love. She sews these pieces together using the fabric of the music she grew up on: Traditional Irish ballads, Paul Simon records, and contemporary pop music from the radio dial.

At 13, beginning to be noticed as a girl with a voice, she was already developing a special affinity for classic 60’s folk. She received classical vocal training at Eastman School of Music, but while studying at the University of Toronto, she turned her prodigious talents toward her first love, folk music.

She has been compared to the likes of Sandy Denny, Lucinda Williams, Neko Case and Gillian Welch. As one enthusiastic fan put it, “She looks across the audience like she’s looking deep into a distant decade.”

“Through the Farmlands & the Cities”, Crane's debut full-length, full band endeavor, was recorded within the urban cabin of GaluminumFoil Studios in Brooklyn, NY. Co-produced with Chris Cubeta, the CD holds true to Crane's folk/Americana roots while incorporating a band that lends profundity without pulling the listener away from the lyrics.

“Local Annie Crane plays fabulous folk with enough thoughtful twang to transport you back in time…and down South”. Time Out New York

Annie Crane is carrying on the tradition of “refashioning folk music in a modernist and urbane guise”. Craig Havighurst, Nashville music writer & documentarian

"Annie has the unusual capability to bring a more modern take on stylistically traditional folk music. With heart-felt vocal sincerity and beautifully written lyrics, it’s hard to describe Annie’s music as anything other than breathtaking. We eagerly look forward to hearing what the future will hold for this NYC 'Urban Americana' darling". Creating The Cool

What People Are Saying About "Through the Farmlands & the Cities":

Writing from a Folk/Punk perspective, Brook Pridemore of JezebelMusic.com says, “Crane’s proven that her gentle brand of country folk carries just as much weight as the ‘insurgent’ stuff I’m regularly drawn to… In a more just world, 'I’ll Be Right Here' would get as much airplay as 'Not Ready to Make Nice' (or some other dogshit young country track)”. Brook Pridemore, Jezebel Music, Brooklyn NY

"Few artists have the ability to take you along with them; to make you feel as if you’re a spectator of the travels and defining moments... Crane has assembled a wonderful, lively documentation of her experiences and she makes it easy and enjoyable for you to sing along with her". Christopher Grzan, PraiseforWallflower.com, New Jersey

“This album is folk rock in its purest form… I am looking forward to what is to come in the future from Annie Crane. If you get the chance to listen, do not pass it up!” Rickard Holmgren, Melodic.net, Sweden

“Annie Crane, who has a very high and pure voice, show(s) a lot of lyrical and musical talent”. Martin Overheul, Altcountryforum.nl, Belgium

Normally I would be there with bells on, but May 21 tis my 52nd (gasp) birthday and the start of a long holiday weekend so I'm staying put on Long Island that weekend to enjoy my yard and do nothing but chill out. I'm sure you'll have a great show and I'll make a point of being at your next one.
