Product Description Creep Show brings together John Grant with the dark funk of analogue electronic band Wrangler (Stephen Mallinder/Phil Winter/Benge) to create Mr Dynamite - a debut album packed with experimental pop and surreal funk. Recorded in Cornwall with a lifetime's collection of drum machines and synthesisers assembled by Benge and explored by every member of Creep Show, there's a real sense of freedom in the shackles-off grooves, channelling the early pioneering spirit of the Sugarhill Gang through wires and random electric noise. This sense of adventure is also part of the interplay between the two vocalists, John Grant and former Cabaret Voltaire frontman Stephen Mallinder, who switch between oblique wordplay to sinister humour as Phil Winter and Benge continue to man-handle the machines. The creepy 'alter-ego' title track, 'Pink Squirrel''s vocoder kaleidoscope and Grant's exhilarating croon on the nine minute 'Safe And Sound' are just some of the twists and hooks to be explored on this consistently inventive record.
