"Cruiser's Creek" (also commonly rendered "Cruisers Creek") is a 1985 single by the English Post-punk band The Fall. The music and lyrics were written by guitarist Brix Smith and lead vocalist Mark E. Smith during sessions in the lead up to recording their 8th album This Nation's Saving Grace, and it was released as single just after the album came out.[2] The b-side of the single was album track "L.A." while the twelve-inch single version contains the song "Vixen", written and sung by Brix.[2]
"Cruiser's Creek" was produced by John Leckie, who brought a cleaner and higher fidelity sound to the band's recordings compared to their earlier recordings. The song is the Fall's only song listed within Robert Dimery's reference book 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die.[3]
