"For The Birds" Feels Swatch: tiny.cc/Crane-FTBFeelsSwatch
WLC005

Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for our first thematic cluster! The theme is Circadian Rhythms and so as you might expect the records are presented to you by time of day. We have daylight hours, dusk, night and afterhours selections for you.

The Crane - “For The Birds”
“For The Birds” is the lovely kind of record that wastes no time in charming you with its quirky, lively and endlessly colourful palette and feels easy to start back at the top when it concludes. Stephen Hedley (aka The Crane) is responsible for holding down the daylight hours slot and there could not be a better record to see the good ship Circadian Rhythms off into the balmy seas of your good ears. There’s a kindly warm nostalgic note here reminiscent of 90s era Warp records: if you’ll forgive the moment of genre gab, there are hints of dusty IDM that interweave with moments of downtempo, deep house materialises from a bed of garage…it’s tender, explorative, immaculately crafted and fiercely original. From the opening squiggles of signal to the final hauntingly disembodied RnB vocal snippets this record is unassuming, unpretentious, infectiously melodic and full of delightful twists and turns. It’s one of my favourite records of all time, and it is sure to bring a twinkle to the eye, a crane to the neck (if you’ll pardon), and a pep to the step.
