Each edition is presented in full bleed monochrome sleeve with its own colour-coded obi strip.

Lead track ‘Lampes Mosse’ is accompanied by a video by Michael Connolly who has been providing the hypnotic projections for Craven Faults’ live performances.

Standers scored an impressive number 6 in the Official UK Independent Chart in May 2023.

It also featured prominently in retailer and media album of the year lists including Sister Ray (#2), Norman (#3), Jumbo (#5), Electronic Sound (#20), Bear Tree (#20), Crash (#28), Loud & Quiet (#29), Get Into This (#29), Uncut (#50) and the Drift Top 100.

Craven Faults made their long awaited live debut in September 2023, with four performances at Thwaite Watermill in Leeds which sold out in a matter of minutes.

Following a sold out debut London show at Studio 9294 in February, Craven Faults will make two more live appearances in the UK this year, at The Cube in Bristol on November 6th and Salford’s White Hotel on November 8th – tickets on sale now.

Bounds follows Craven Faults’ second full-length album Standers. Following loosely in the footsteps of 2020’s Enclosures release, here’s another 37-minute journey through Northern England via a lifetime obsessing at the fringes of popular culture. New details and perspectives. Dusk gathering.

There’s some discussion over where this journey begins. Certainly, less than twenty miles north-west of the city, but possibly much closer. Ironic given we’re searching for a distance marker. A gritstone pillar is the prime candidate – destroyed by lightning almost 200 years ago, and then rebuilt a quarter of a mile away. A curiosity. Many a journey starts here these days, as we take flight and head further north and west. The tarn was drained in 1940 to protect critical infrastructure. We leave the sounds of heavy industry behind us to float weightlessly over the moors.
