Craven Faults is an British electronic artist and producer known for combining analogue synthesizers, electronics and field recordings to create music that draws from ambient music, Krautrock and electronica. Their name is taken from the Craven Fault System in the Pennines and much of their music draws inspiration from the landscapes of Yorkshire, where they reside.[1][2][3]
Career
Little is known about the enigmatic Craven Faults. They emerged with the release of Netherfield Works on the Lowfold Works label in 2017, followed by Springhead Works and Nunroyd Works in 2019. The pieces on these EPs range from seven to seventeen minutes in length and esteblish a signature sound of long-form, often hypnotic instrumental works. Later in 2019 they released Lowfold Reworks, containing three remixes of tracks from these EPs.
In January 2020 Craven Faults released their debut album Erratics & Unconformities, beginning a relationship with Yorkshire based label The Leaf Label. The Line of Best Fit called the album a "tour-de-force". Live Works was released in September 2020, collating three live tracks recorded for Bandcamp Fridays. In May 2023 Craven Faults released their second full-length album Standers, also on The Leaf Label, which Loud and Quiet heralded as a "hypnotic, idiosyncratic gem".[4][5][6][7] In September 2023 Craven Faults made a sold out live debut at Thwaite Watermill in Leeds, West Yorkshire.[8][9]
