Creases is the fifth studio album from the American rock band Sink Tapes.
Content[edit]
The twenty five-track album was released digitally on January 4, 2015 by Mint 400 Records, and on compact disc on January 17, 2015 by Sniffling Indie Kids. It was recorded at Hartless Headquarters and at Charles Holloman Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina. The second half of the album is twelve acoustic and demo tracks. Creases is described as lo-fi, fuzz-rock, and shoegaze, and incorporates warm guitars and layered vocal patterns.[1][2][3]
Sniffling Indie Kids founder Frank DeFranco and Neil Sabatino of Mint 400 Records met while working on Creases, and "realized we had similar tastes and that there were things each label was doing that could benefit the other." Together they began the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival and have released promotional compilation albums that feature artists from both labels.[4]
Reception[edit]
A review in Jersey Beat by Deborah Draisin calls Creases a "masterpiece" and although "spinning this album end to end is a serious commitment[,] the band definitely brings something fresh and modern to the table." She likens them to Jawbreaker and the Cure.[2] Speak Into My Good Eye editor Chris Rotolo says Creases is "a haze-encased collection of jangle-pop [that] provides all the warmth and nervous goosebumps of a summer's afternoon spent stripping off your swim trunks behind the tennis courts for a little x-rated fun."
Creases peaked at No. 162 on CMJ's Top 200 chart.[5]
