Kranky

Kranky is an American record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Established in 1993 by Bruce Adams and Joel Leoschke, Kranky has been a prominent force in the music industry since its inception. With a focus on the alternative and experimental genres, Kranky has released numerous groundbreaking albums over the years.

Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music production, *Kranky* has become synonymous with quality and creativity. The label's publishing credits typically go to Kranky, Ltd., further solidifying their reputation as a trusted name in the industry.

With a catalog spanning from the 1990s to the 2000s, *Kranky* has consistently showcased talented artists who push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their commitment to supporting independent musicians sets them apart from other labels, making them a go-to destination for fans of cutting-edge music.

Melissa Guion’s second offering for Kranky retains the glassy gauze of her debut, 2016’s Precious Systems, but shaded starker and darker, framed by mechanical rhythms and humid industrial moods.

Utilizing her trusted combination of instrumentation, Guion tracked the record between her New Orleans home and rehearsal space, capturing chemistries both intimate and expansive. The songs sway between twilit shoegaze, downer ballads, and gothic pop, mapping a delicate palette of electric melancholies, though in retrospect she cites as her primary muse the notion of power: “lost and found, corporeal and cerebral, harnessed and exploited, of one and many, in this reality and the next.” Sour Cherry Bell reverberates beyond the here and now into scenes unseen, worlds unheard.

For Fans Of : Elizabeth Fraser, Julee Cruise and Siouxsie Sioux.
