“We recorded it in one take,” Steel Cranes drummer Amanda
Schukle says of “Boat Song” the
first single from Ouroboros, the Oakland duo’s debut album, scheduled for release
on September 24th.
The song is a crash course in the Steel Cranes sound and style, which has already been likened to Hole, PJ Harvey and Sleater-Kinney. “It’s our favorite song to play live,” Schukle explains. “It feels like
standing on the edge of a cliff, just on the verge of falling over, but pulling
back at the last minute. It’s a bit of
controlled chaos and we never play it the same way twice.”
Produced by the band (which also features vocalist and
guitarist, Tracy Shapiro) and
engineered by Eli Crews (tUnE-yArDs, Thao and Mirah, Deerhoof),
Ouroboros
captures the raw energy of Schukle
and Shapiro in a way that is rarely
heard on records these days. As Shapiro
explains, “It was essential to us that the suspense and tension that come with
live performance be present on the album.”
And it is.
Ouroboros by
Steel Cranes is scheduled for
release on September 24th, 2013. The members of Steel Cranes are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
