You may remember that for Rough Trade's 40th anniversary, there were some celebratory shows in London featuring unique, one-off pairings. One of those was John Grant and Wrangler (the current band of Cabaret Voltaire co-founder Stephen Mallinder). That collaboration now has a name, Creep Show, and a debut album, Mr Dynamite, due out March 16, 2018 via Bella Union.

Also: John Grant with Wrangler, Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor with Scritti Politti, and more.
