    By taking a sharp turn into the light, the shades of grey of her older material have been splattered by blasts of glorious technicolour, a move resulting in her best album to date.

    In all, Cranekiss is a beautiful pop fantasia that finds Tamaryn expressing her music's passion and sensuality in exciting new ways.

    Cranekiss feels like a fresh step forward for an artist of her creative ilk.

    Sonic texture plays a vital role on this album and the exquisite settings take Tamaryn’s music to new heights.

    Even without the haunting, almost phantasmagoric washes of guitar that dominated the previous two albums and despite the newfound prominence of robust and well-rounded melodic work that was previously largely swept aside by it, Tamaryn’s new late-80s/early-90s sensitive pop still possesses something of the signature melancholia that inspired her earlier output with Shelverton.

    Cranekiss is a carefully crafted and wonderfully written record and beyond that it marks a new, exciting step in Tamaryn's career.

    Cranekiss is going for hypnotic, but too often ends up narcotizing.
