Artist Crane Your Swan Neck

For being a mere quartet, the chamber-pop tunes of Madison’s Crane Your Swan Neck are impressively expansive. Anchored by the witty and deliberate songwriting of vocalist-guitarist Randall Luecke, Crane Your Swan Neck’s tunes are each peppered with the rippling hooks of cellist Pat Reinholz. Meanwhile, the rhythm section of drummer Shawn Pierce and bassist Kenny Monroe tastefully trudge underneath. Luecke’s crooning stays infectious and is often met with soaring back-ups from Monroe, who also hammers out auxiliary percussion and toy piano when not laying down his minimal bass lines.
