Ut - Ut / Confidential
SKU
28-OTRS102.2
This CD combines the 1st two 12" releases by Ut. Ut were a NYC based art-core / no-wave trio, who recorded all of their early releases at Cold Storage and who had a working partnership with Tim Hodgkinson for a while (he produced a couple of albums by them, and I believe he is a guest on one of these two).
"Ut is a radical rock group founded by Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young in NYC in Dec 1978. Originating in the downtown No Wave scene and inheritors of the collision between rock, free jazz and the avant-garde, the band exploded the rigidity of conventional rock, constructing songs through collective improvisation, swapping instruments and rotating the role of singer/director.
Migrating to London in 1981, Ut played with bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party and released music on their own label, Out Records, becoming a favorite of BBC's John Peel and recorded sessions for his show."
“The raw power and sheer drive of Ut is quite straightforward and unmistakable. This is a true threatening guitar band."-N.Y. Rocker
