“Craven Faults have a few clear kin: think Pye Corner Audio and the synth-powered wing of the Ghost Box label, the tin-pot analogue constructions of the BBC Radiophonic Orchestra, or even past outer-limits explorers like Throbbing Gristle. 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, its nostalgia not guided by entreaties to “Keep Calm And Carry On”, but by an angry nobility and a deep- seated sadness for what has passed” 8/10, Lead review, Uncut “Glacial landscapes a go-go on mesmerising debut by Yorkshire producer” 4/5 Mojo “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 “70s-era Tangerine Dream, with perhaps a dash of Phillip Glass-style minimalism” Electronic Sound “A record of hypnotic beauty, with soundscapes of both the rural and the urban North brought to life, thanks to a collection of addictive modular synth patterns” Record Collector
