Yawning Abyss – Creep Show [CD]

A quick recap? No problem. Wrangler + John Grant = Creep Show. And Creep Show? ‘A band of musical misfits who have found a voice or two’, says Wrangler’s Ben ‘Benge’ Edwards, whose Bond villain studio on the edge of a moorland is Creep Show Grand Central as well as home to an analogue synth arsenal that could sink ships. Let’s talk about the new album. What is the ‘Yawning Abyss’? You might well ask. According to Mal, it’s ‘a cosmic event horizon that I can see from my attic window when stand on a chair’. Yeah. Thanks. ‘On this album,’ offers Benge, feet firmly on the floor, ‘Wrangler wrangled some vintage synths, mostly Roland, Moog, and the ‘Crystal Machine’ – then John Grant joined in the fun at Memetune Studios where lots of musical experiments were carried out.
