Martin Creed LP Mind Trap / New & Sealed
Rare LP vinyl version on Telephone Records, TR10LP. Gatefold LP is still shrink wrapped. Vinyl Factory pressing on 180gm heavyweight vinyl with a bespoke die-cut gatefold sleeve. You Return, the first song from the album to be revealed, is accompanied by a new film by Martin, Work No. 1701. The film shows people crossing the street in New York. “I like the way people move” said Creed when asked about the film. The album features songs alongside instrumental pieces for orchestra. Martin sings and plays the instruments, supported by gospel singers Dee Alexander and Yvonne Gage (who've worked with The Police, Madonna and R.Kelly) and Andy Knowles (musical credits include stints with the Fiery Furnaces & Franz Ferdinand) playing drums on If You’re Lonely, You Return and Don’t Tell Me. Keiko Owada plays bass on Gift Attack / Don’t Won’t. Co-produced by Martin with Andy Knowles, the album was recorded in London, Chicago and the Czech Republic. Nick McCarthy of Franz Ferdinand and Mark Ralph (who works with Hot Chip) provided additional production. The Chicago songs, which form the heart of the album, were recorded all-analogue at John McEntire's (Tortoise) Soma Studios. Engineered by Bill Skibbe (The Kills/Franz Ferdinand). It also includes 3 specially commissioned orchestral works: Work No. 955 was originally written for the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Work No. 994 was composed for the Hiroshima Symphony Orchestra and Work No. 1375 was commissioned by the The London Sinfonietta. These pieces were recorded for the album by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mikel Toms. All lyrics and music on the album are written by Martin Creed, with the exception of the The New Shutters which is Martin’s arrangement of a traditional Neapolitan folk song. The album sleeve features one of Martin’s paintings, Work No. 1674: Anouchka and was designed by Andy Knowles, who has recently directed videos for Franz Ferdinand and The Cribs. Martin has released one previous album, Love To You (Moshi Moshi) in 2012. Martin Creed was born in 1968 in Wakefield, England and was brought up in Glasgow, Scotland. He studied at the Slade School of Art, London from 1986-1990. His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in collections including Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Moscow Museum of Modern Art; The Centre Pompidou–Metz, France; Tate, London; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; The Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Recently, Creed’s Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes opened the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic celebrations as part of the London 2012 Festival.
