vs Mogwai by The Crease
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 nabbed a professional recording engineer to come in and document (in all its 8-track spelendor) a racquetball match against Lockett from Atlanta band Deerhunter (and Lotus Plaza). 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.
