OTHER PRESS
"They have used their emotive vocals and dreamy soundscapes to establish themselves as a unique voice in their southwest desert home...This is a flawless display of the way good art can simultaneously make statements about the world."
-The Music Butcher
"..a moody, broody ambience decorated with cold and faraway feeling textures."
-Tucson Weekly
"M. Crane are a fascinating band who take story-telling to new heights...dashes of Muse and Radiohead flicker in and out of view, but by the end of the experience, all hints of inspiration have rightfully stepped aside – as you try to get your head around the concept, you inevitably form a connection with the sound and creative expression that is simply M. Crane. Absolutely a band worth exploring."
-Stereo Stickman
"The vocals are emotive and have a painful energy behind them."
-Electro Wow
"These guys really do have a lot going on under whirring, whiny guitars and haunting, ghostly vocals."
-Rock the Pidgeon

M. CRANE
is an alternative indie band from Tucson, AZ.
A revolving door of musicians since 2018, M. Crane’s sole constant
is singer, songwriter, frontman, Nick Maskill.
Their sound is eclectic, and as far as genre, “schizophrenic”,
with only the blue voice of Maskill threading the disparate pieces together.
It’s honest music that seeks the shortest route to expression; mostly rock-centric,
but in their growing catalog, M. Crane has something for everyone.
This music is for lovers, thinkers, zealots, seekers.
There are riffs, there is poetry, there is pain, there is beauty, there is frenetic joy.
M. Crane is a drop of pure sound in the high desert of noise.
