The Crease

The Crease

Vs. Mogwai

Chunklet

You might be asking yourself “Is this some kind of gimmick?” or “Is this really 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. Then, the isolated tracks were sent to Barry Burns from Mogwai, and The Crease “vs Mogwai” is the result. 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
