About this product
Erratics & Unconformities is the first album by Craven Faults. It follows three EPs Netherfield Works, Springhead Works and Nunroyd Works. Long-form analogue electronic journeys across decades and continents, and swathes of post-industrial northern Britain. The journey on Erratics & Unconformities picks up where Netherfield Works left off. We take the canal towpath out of the city. We fork north shortly afterwards. Is this where it started? The terrain gradually becomes more rugged. Familiar. Wild. Evidence of human activity is less immediate in this glacial landscape. It's there if you seek it. But easy to ignore. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the weight of the ice-sheet carving it's way through the rock. Everything in it's own time. The output from the old textile mill Craven Faults calls home is no longer as linear as it once was. There was no clear start point for the project, rather simply rediscovering the joy in experimentation with no material goals. Some of the recordings that make up Erratics & Unconformities go back almost seven years. Tracks have come and gone in that time. They don't leave until they've undertaken a stringent quality control process. It started slowly, but has picked up momentum in the last eighteen months. Recorded and re-recorded to the correct level of imperfection, and then left to breathe. Mixed and re-mixed. Carefully compiled when the time was right.The journey is just as important as the destination.A1. Vacca Wall (17 37)B1. Deipkier (7 55)B2. Cupola Smelt Mill (9 13)C1. Slack Sley & Temple (18 24)D1.

Sidings is the third full-length double LP by Craven Faults, following 2020 debut Erratics & Unconformities and 2023's Standers. These long-form releases have each been punctuated with shorter single disc albums - Enclosures at the end of 2020 and Bounds in 2024. Each one builds on Craven Faults' lore and takes a unique view of the north of England through the spectrum of slowly unfurling analogue electronic music. It draws influence from the global underground of the arts and music, via records, studios and concerts, and how the landscape outside the old mill Craven Faults calls home came to look the way it does. The journey on Sidings isn't made with people in mind. It begins in an isolated community which built up around one of the great engineering projects of it's age - 14 tunnels and 22 viaducts to open up the north - and finishes at an enclosed field on a moor in 1858. It takes in studios from Los Angeles to Rochdale from 1952 to 1980, while drawing inspiration from the progress in manmade insfrastructure and the transport of goods.The devil's in the details. It always was and it always will be. It's there for those who seek it out. Album Tracks 1. Ganger 2. Stoneyman 3. Yard Loup 4. Three Loaning End 5. Up Goods Distant, Down Goods Home 6.

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 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 it's ancient and modern history affects it's current population. Landscapes shaped by the elements, and then by countless conquerors and settlers. Livestock and machinery. Money, religion and politics.A1. Hurrocstanes (16 32)B1. Severals (7 55)B2.
