Second Edition 4xCD includes new colourway and two booklets.
Available on limited ‘Freight Bauxite’ coloured vinyl 2xLP, black vinyl 2xLP, CD or limited 4xCD box set.
An element of anonymity and intrigue has been maintained throughout, while giving
fans enough information to go much deeper if they’re inclined to dig.
As well as the single CD version, the album will also be presented as a four CD box set
in an edition of 1,000, including newly remastered versions of all tracks from Bounds and Thwaite Watermill plus the full ‘May Birching’ broadcast, none of which have previously been available on CD. The CD box includes two separate booklets.
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.
Craven Faults is a genuine word-of-mouth success story based on meticulous world
building, attention to craft and recognition of those trailblazing artists, studios and
producers that have paved the way.

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.
