...according to our Phil on 18 September 2008.

Blurt have been around for years. I had no idea they were still going and then this new single by Milton & co. arrived called 'Cut It'. Man this is great!! It's the wonkiest thing I've heard in ages... Fucked sounding drums with some wonky chainsaw guitars with Milton talking stream of consciousness nonsense over it. Beefheart springs to mind.... Dave Cloud sings the young Ant. And then the skronking sax comes in all jazzlike.... It's a massive tune with Milton powerfully asserting 'Cut It' when he feels like it in a Burroughs-ish kind of way. Put simply a lot of you will have never heard anything like this and if you fancy something really quite fantastic and really quite different then check this out!! It's simply 100% amazing!! Even the skronking sax doesn't bother me too much (and I cocking hate saxophones...)

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Ted Milton  -  poet, saxophonist and puppeteer, formed Blurt in 1979. The repetitious and infectious grooves of solid robotic drumming and minimalistic guitar patterns  topped with wild bursts of free form sax and dramaticaly demonic vocals form their inimitable trademark.  The Double ‘A’ release 'Cut it' /'Hat' is the first  recorded Blurt offering in many years. 'Cut it' is a hi hat ridden tribal rhythm with chainsaw guitar which awaits two saxophones  blowing furiously like animals in night fog. 'Hat' brings you robotic grooves and urgent warped guitar. Ted Milton hisses over his frantic blowing, thus providing a succinct 2 minutes of energy. Mr Milton is joined by Steve Eagles on ever-present guitar, and the smart and tightly packed rhythm is supplied by Bob Leith (whose tub thumping skills belong also to cult quirk-meisters the Cardiacs). The band will be touring in Europe throughout September, playing club dates and festivals, before returning to the UK for a special Orchestra Pit night to celebrate this latest slab of vinyl.   The mighty Blurt are back. Get on cloud 9.25.
