Always breaking all the rules, Ted Milton’s Blurt have been existing on their own trajectory for decades. The band’s free form poetry and jazz blurts over post punk funk grooves was no wave before no wave existed, and jazz revival before any of that generation was born. It was free spirited, thrilling, and you could dance to, and somehow decades into their journey, they have come up with what is arguably their greatest single yet. There is a film about Ted Milton getting made right now, and this single is also a hint of the indescribable brilliance of the underground legend.
The Meccano Giraffe grooves along with a perfect groove, some of kilter guitar, shrapnel, and that sax appeal, and Ted’s unique poetry.
It’s catchy as fuck and needs to be heard by more people…please share!
