It was a record teetering on the edge. Five years down the line you\u2019d expect the follow-up,\u00a0\u2018Yawning Abyss,\u2019 would double-down and bring the white-knuckled, teeth-gritted fury of the last five years to the boil. And yet\u2026.<br><br>A quick recap? No problem. Wrangler + John Grant = Creep Show. And Creep Show?\u00a0<em>\u201cA band of musical misfits who have found a voice or two\u201d<\/em>, says Wrangler\u2019s Ben \u201cBenge\u201d Edwards, whose Bond villain studio on the edge of a moorland is Creep Show Grand Central as well as home to an analogue synth arsenal that could sink ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrangler have known each other for a while. Tunng\u2019s electronics wizard Phil Winter and Cabaret Voltaire\u2019s trailblazing, pioneering frontman Stephen Mallinder go way back, while Phil and Benge crossed paths in the 21st century when they seemed to be increasingly in the same venues at the same times. Meanwhile, Mal had been living in Australia since the mid-90s and when, in 2007, he returned to the UK his old pal Phil suggested he meet Benge and the three of them immediately began working together.<br><br>Wrangler collectively bumped into Grant at their soundcheck for Sheffield\u2019s Sensoria Festival in 2014 where they were playing with Carter Tutti. A friendship blossomed and when they were invited to perform together for Rough Trade\u2019s 40th anniversary show at London\u2019s Barbican in 2016, well, they jumped at the chance&#8230; and Creep Show was born.\u00a0<em>\u201cOn this album\u201d<\/em>, offers Benge, feet firmly on the floor,<em>\u00a0\u201cWrangler wrangled some vintage synths, mostly Roland, Moog, and the \u2018Crystal Machine\u2019 &#8211; 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\u2019t hard because what they did in Iceland was totally magnificent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where\u00a0\u2018Mr Dynamite\u2019\u00a0was menace, a m\u00e9lange of mangled voices, with Grant and Mallinder being heavily treated, pitched up or down, rendering their contributions largely indistinguishable,\u00a0\u2018Yawning Abyss\u2019\u00a0takes a more direct approach. You hesitate to say feel good, but there\u2019s a skip in the step here for sure. But it does feel good. It\u2019s probably best to draw your own conclusions&#8230; This is Creep Show after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.constantcontact.com\/50dc88c6601\/c3f57700-2662-462e-9aa6-51e2bccbb773.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Yawning Abyss\u2019&nbsp;track list:<\/strong><br>1.
