Release Notes:
Cobalt Cranes blend elements of desert, psychedelic and shoegaze sounds,
taking a modern approach to classic California rock. Like many great
rock bands before them, Cobalt Cranes have found California to be a big
inspiration to their sound.
Hailing from Los Angeles, Cobalt Cranes began when Tim Foley and Kate
Betuel bonded over 60's garage punk, 90's shoegaze, and psych rock. The
duo began making demos in Tim's apartment, and recorded an Ep titled 'in
Media Rez'. The resulting sound was a dynamic mix of primitive, raw
garage rock and heart-on-sleeve, lush slow burners. In early 2009 they
assembled a live band, began playing locally and embarked on several
Southwest and Pacific Northwest tours.
In 2010 they released a single with Atlanta based Zap! cassettes as well
as a 7" with French label Frantic City. They continued to tour and play
locally in 2011, and released a single on the London based label Tuck
shop v. Leg Guitar as well as a single on their own Anticc Records.
This past year Kate and Tim have been writing and recording their debut
album, 'Head in the Clouds' while continuing to play local shows. The
record is heavily influenced by hard rock album narratives of the early
1970's, versatile shoegaze rock of the early 90's, as well as modern
sounds. They also explored and expanded upon what is considered the
'California sound'.
Cobalt Cranes want to assure you that this is not a retro act, in fact
far from it. From the vantage point of the modern era, Cobalt Cranes
have compiled their influences into a sound all their own and have
elaborated upon what they consider Rock 'n' Roll.
Cobalt Cranes released their debut album 'Head in the Clouds' in early
2013, and embarked on national tour.
