Drifting between geography, memory, and abstraction, ‘Bounds’ extended Craven Faults’ ongoing exploration of landscape as both physical space and psychological terrain. Following ‘Standers’, the album unfolded as a 37-minute passage through Northern England, guided by obsessions with marginal histories, vanished markers, and the quiet imposition of boundaries. Rather than mapping a fixed route, the record moved fluidly between locations and ideas: destroyed pillars, drained tarns, and invisible lines drawn centuries ago, all rendered through slowly evolving electronic patterns that suggested distance, repetition, and dusk settling in.

Sonically, ‘Bounds’ balanced hypnotic momentum with subtle disorientation. Motorik-inflected sequences echoed the disciplined repetition of early German electronic music, while weightless passages dissolved any clear sense of scale or altitude. Melodies emerged, bent, and slipped into dissonance as the journey circled back on itself, blurring past and present. Long-form structures allowed themes to breathe and mutate, culminating in extended movements that felt both meditative and quietly unsettled. Less rigid than previous releases yet deeply focused, ‘Bounds’ refined Craven Faults’ language into something more emotive and porous, capturing a sense of place defined not by borders, but by what lingers between them.
