Explore the world of Bristol-based music collective Bearcraft on their electronically charged second album Fabrefactions.

Fabrefactions is Essex born musician/producer Dicky Moore aka Bearcraft’s lead protagonist’s second album following his debut Yestreen. Over the album’s ten tracks, Fabrefactions moves upriver along the Thames, from Margate, through Leigh-on-Sea and into the capital of England. That journey is mapped out in gorgeous organic electronics, in overheard ghost stories and half-remembered urban myths. Here are tales of runaways and banshees, estuary witches, acid trips and seafront car-cruising, set to sounds that evoke everything from bankside industry to underground dancehalls and the ambient push and pull of the shoreline.

Sweeping synths and swooping vocals provide an electro feast, with attention-grabbing breakdowns and instrumental landscapes for dessert

From the path of the werewolf we have entered the world of Bearcraft, one that combines spectral synths and electro beats with pagan, scientific, philosophical and English folk themes. Bearcraft’s debut album, released on Hottwerk Records, is a fantastical, mathematical combination of electro uppers and bewitching acoustic slow-burners, spinning folk yarns with an abundance of haunting melodies and the loveliest harmonies. Take Bearcraft’s debut single, The Werewolf, with its hypnotic drum patterns, Gallic disco basslines and cool, disembodied vocals, it tells a tale that takes us from animalistic primal urges, through folk devils, to a contemporary scene of dancing in soaring temperatures and midnight sunshine.
