Sidings is the third full-length double LP by Craven Faults, following the 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. On the one hand it draws influence from the global underground of the arts and music, via seminal records, studios and concerts, and on the other it traces journeys through the post-industrial landscape outside the old mill Craven Faults calls home.
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 its 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 infrastructure 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.
