CREASE - vs Mogwai LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition of 100 copies on red colour vinyl.

You might be asking yourself “Is this some kind of gimmick?” or “Is this actually a racquetball record?” or most importantly, “Is this really Mogwai?” The answer to all these questions is a resounding “YES!”

The Crease is the “nom de performance” for Chunklet Industries' Janitor of the Year (for seventeen years running, that is), none other than Henry Owings.

Spawning from a crazy idea Owings hatched from years of being a racquetball player, he hired a professional recording engineer to come in and document (in all its 8-track spelendor) a racquetball match against Lockett from Atlanta band Deerhunter. Then, the isolated tracks were sent to Barry Burns from Mogwai, and The Crease “vs Mogwai” is the result.

Offset sleeve includes a long-winded essay by, and sweaty courtside photographs of, The Crease.

This is Henry's sophomore release, and the debut of The Crease.

RIYL: Mogwai, Racquetball, sweaty dudes, looking at guitar pedals.
