Loved is an album by the British gothic rock band Cranes.[3] The album contains elements of alternative rock, shoegaze, dream pop, and darkwave.
It contains the single "Shining Road," as well as the promotional singles "Beautiful Friend" and "Lilies."
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote: "'Shining Road' has an enchanting pop melody and rushing guitar pulse, 'Lilies' flirts with fragile funkiness and 'Paris and Rome' feels like a European music-box waltz. Using odd squeaking noises and distant whammy-bar twangs, 'Beautiful Friend' cunningly fashions an unusual ambient/western hybrid; the title track actually rocks."[4]
