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.

Packaged in a gatefold sleeve, initial vinyl copies will include a 20-page photobook.

The identity of the producer behind Craven Faults is still a closely guarded secret, but there are rumblings of live performances to come.

Erratics & Unconformities hit the heights of number 16 in the Official UK Independent Chart, and number 2 in the Indie Breakers Chart back in January 2020

It also had an excellent showing in retailers’ end of year lists, with Norman making Erratics & Unconformities their Album of the Year, plus inclusions from Resident (#7), South (#11), Bear Tree (#13), Pie & Vinyl (Top 25), Piccadilly (#42), Love Record Stores (#52) and Stranger Than Paradise.

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.
