What’s the story?

As the new Craven Faults album Sidings nears release, The Leaf Label have teased another of its eight tracks. Yard Loup is much shorter than the previous single Far Closes, but gives an indication of the sonic world in which the producer is operating.

What’s the music like?

Picturesque – in that it paints many images in the mind’s eye. Craven Faults has a way of working that combines long drone phrases and quicker, less defined movements, in this case a gently shimmering treble. In this case the image conjured up is a wintry, watery scene.

Does it all work…and is it recommended?

It does, though I suspect it will work a lot better in the context of the album. It certainly whets the appetite.
