Craven Faults - Standers

Standers is the second full-length album by Craven Faults. It follows a trilogy of long sold out EPs, 2020’s Erratics & Unconformities LP, the Enclosures mini-album and a series of studio performances entitled Live Works.

Meticulously curated, each release moves the Craven Faults story forward. Each one a self-contained analogue electronic journey across northern Britain, viewed through the lens of a century in popular music. Studios, venues and movements. Technology and ingenuity. Vibrations. Lines drawn to connect those moments of inspiration.

On Standers, there’s a sonic shift. A new palette to paint from and further refinement of the craft. We’re no longer exclusively travelling overland. Familiar landscapes are viewed from a different perspective. There’s a growing obsession in how this island came to look the way it does, and how its ancient and modern history affects its current population.
Landscapes shaped by the elements, and then by countless conquerors and settlers. Livestock and machinery. Money, religion and politics.

• The cult of Craven Faults continues to grow
• Second full-length album, Standers, will be released on black vinyl and INDIES ONLY Dark Fell Green vinyl limited to 1,000 copies for the world

• Lead track ‘Odda Delf’ is accompanied by an widescreen video by Ross Downes and Neil Cain, which plots some of the landmarks that inspired the music
• The identity of the producer behind Craven Faults is still a closely guarded secret, but there are rumblings of live performances to come

On Enclosures:
“Rumours still abound about the identity of its creator, but who cares when the end results are as mesmeric and seductive as this?”
4/5 Mojo
“Three epics of electronic minimalism, imagining journeys across post-industrial Northern England”
Resident Advisor
On Erratics & Unconformities:
“If Krautrock felt like a reaction to Germany’s totalitarian past, a new chapter defined by freaky optimism and a race to the margins, Craven Faults also feels like a historical reckoning of sorts: a cold elegy to Britain’s industrial heyday”
8/10 Uncut - Lead review
“Often feeling less like the work of human hands than sounds breathed out by the moors around their Yorkshire home, the drones have an almost geological weight and pace”
9/10 DJ Magazine
“Immersive works that have been assembled by a painstaking master of his craft”
9/10 Long Live Vinyl
“Floating somewhere between ’60s visions of dystopian future, and an increasingly dystopian present”
The Vinyl Factory
“Hypnotic and engrossing” NPR
