John Grant and Wrangler announce new Creep Show album with title-track "Yawning Abyss"
John Grant and Wrangler have announced their second Creep Show album Yawning Abyss, and have released the title-track as the lead single.
"Yawning Abyss" is Creep Show's first new release since 2021's "Uneffable", and is also the lead release from their upcoming second album, which will follow their 2018 debut Mr Dynamite.
Wrangler/Creep Show's Stephen Mallinder says the upcoming album is "a cosmic event horizon that I can see from my attic window when stand on a chair."
Ben "Benge" Edwards adds, "On this album, 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. Then Mal and John ran off to Iceland with the master tapes and recorded a load of madcap vocals. Back at Memetune, me and Phil were left to try and make sense of it all. Which wasn’t hard because what they did in Iceland was totally magnificent."
Tracklist:
- The Bellows
- Moneyback
- Yawning Abyss
- Matinee
- Wise
- Yahtzee!
- Bungalow
- Steak Diane
- The Bellows Reprise
"Yawning Abyss" is out now. Creep Show's album of the same name will arrive via Bella Union on 16 June, and is available to pre-order now.
