Spending a bit of time today with the new Craven Faults and *very* much enjoying it. You know what you're getting, it's all in the detail and temporal distortion.

“Haunted and otherworldly... [Sidings] has a sneaky way of rubberbanding your perception of time; some listens feel like a lightning bolt, others like an entire day.”

If you're at all into modular/minimal synth ambient/kosmische, the new Craven Faults album Sidings is the elite goods. Drifting arpeggios and heavy delay to get lost in.

JUST IN! 'Sidings' by Craven Faults

Another absolute belter from the mighty Faults - an early contender for Album of the Year and we're only in mid-Jan.

A handful of our Norman exclusive variant remain.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
Stay warm, stay safe New York.
