about

SELECTED SONGS: TWO WHITE CRANES

Written over the course of a 20s spent in U.K. DIY scenes and spaces, Two White Cranes was the short-lived-but-beloved songwriting project and occasional band of Roxy Brennan (Radisson Blue, Joanna Gruesome, Trust Fund, The Nervy Betters). Seamlessly shifting between full-band indie-pop, solo bedroom-folk, and nods to post-punk and punk, Brennan imbued each song—regardless of genre—with a distinct, singular voice and approach.

"For When the Future Rolls Around (Selected Songs, 2012-2017)" collects songs from Two White Cranes' two studio albums, as well as home-recorded releases, a live album, a wide array of compilation tracks, and unreleased material. This collection aims to see Two White Cranes as a body of pop song-work worthy of recognition and celebration.


REVIEWS

"With a sound that borrowed equally from folk, DIY pop and post-punk, Brennan’s music was continually surprising and distinctive...It’s a fitting tribute to the project, a must for long-time fans and the ideal introduction for new listeners." - Various Small Flames

"Charming, raw, and catchy" - Bandcamp New and Notable

"Essentially, this project has ‘that’ warmth exuded when an artist is afforded free reign to indulge their musical passions and is the paramount reason why this back catalogue is so very worthy of being given the showcase compilation treatment." - Janglepophub

"From the sidewalk you can see in the front window there is a glass of water, a plant of some kind, and a cat, but you're not sure if the cat is a statue or not." - Small Albums

Printed in editions of 200 gold-ticket cassettes, each volume is packaged in letterpress and offset-print boxes by Stumptown Printers Worker Cooperative, accompanied by Whatnow Press risograph-printed booklets with personal essays by curators Andrew Barton and Joshua James Amberson to give context to the artist’s work.
