Strange food for weirdos. Weird food for Strangers? 😜
The cool cover is petrified. Where did the blue rabbit go? Guitars playing dial tones while this Monty Python guy singing? Maybe I´m just chased by a mind storm…
Weird food. 😲
Favorite track: Storm (feat. Kerorg).

Spanish version: En Venezuela, hay una leyenda urbana que ha causado miedo y curiosidad por generaciones entre los habitantes de Caracas y La Guaira. Se trata de la novia de la carretera, que no es más que el fantasma de una mujer vestida con un traje nupcial blanco, la cual le aparece en la noche a los conductores que transitan solitarios por la carretera vieja que une ambas ciudades. La historia de la novia de la carretera se remonta a los años 50, cuando aún no existía la actual autopista que facilita el viaje entre la capital y el litoral de Venezuela. Según se cuenta, una hermosa joven caraqueña llamada María José Cárdenas se enamoró de un hombre de La Guaira y decidió casarse con él a escondidas de su madre, que no aprobaba su relación. El día de la ceremonia, María tomó un taxi en Caracas con su vestido de novia y se dirigió al lugar donde la esperaba su prometido. Sin embargo, el destino le jugó una mala pasada porque el carro se averió en medio de la carretera y la futura esposa tuvo que bajarse a pedir ayuda. Desesperada por llegar a tiempo al altar, María aceptó subirse al primer carro que se detuvo a ofrecerle un aventón hasta la ciudad costera. Lo que no sabía era que el conductor estaba ebrio y que perdería el control del vehículo en una curva, provocando así un fatídico accidente que acabó con sus vidas en el acto. Desde entonces, se dice que el espíritu de la novia vaga por la carretera vieja, buscando un conductor bondadoso que la lleve hasta La Guaira, donde su amado aún la espera para casarse. English version: One of the many stories about ghosts on the side of the road, happens since the mid-twentieth century on an old highway in Venezuela, which connects the capital of Caracas with the city of La Guaira, located on the coast. In an old road used in the past by the people of Caracas, Venezuela to go to the beach, before the current highway was built you can see, at night, the figure of a woman, dressed as a bride According to popular belief, it is the spirit of a young woman named María José Cárdenas, who was a young woman from Caracas, who during the fifties, spent her weekends on Venezuelan beaches, on which one day she met a boy, who lived on that coast. After a while they decided to get married, and since Maria had no family, the couple planned a simple ceremony, in the middle of the beach where they met. On the day of the wedding, dressed as a bride, María took a taxi that would take her from Caracas to the coastal town of La Guaira, where the wedding would take place. However, halfway along the road the car broke down, leaving the bride without transportation. They say that Maria got out of the taxi, and began to ask the travelers to take her. Finally a driver stopped and invited her to go up. Unfortunately for the future wife, the driver was drunk, which is why in one of the most dangerous curves of this Venezuelan highway he lost control, falling into the abyss, which ended his life and that of the young girl.

Här sitter jag på stranden och tittar på landskapet Nu undrar jag varför jag har kommit hit fjällen? fjällen? Var är fjällen? Fjordar? Fjordar? Var är Fjordarna? Var är skogen? Björnarna? Älgarna? Sjöarna är varma, havet är varmt Det finns ingen is! Sjöarna är blåa. Det finns ingen is! På sommaren kom vi hit Landet är grönt och plant Smaklöst. Det är inte vinter. Aldrig! Jag saknar snön Jag saknar björnarna Jag saknar kylan, den kalla isen, det svarta vattnet Människorna är många Maten sitter på bordet Vin finns i mitt glas Nej nej nej Ge mig akvavits och sång En älg, två älg, var är älgarna Jag söker älgarna En varg, två vargar, jag kan inte se vargarna Jag söker vargarna, björnarna och snön Ge mig sång, ge mig öl, ge mig bröd Ge mig vänner, ge mig lingonbãr Ta dina druvor, ta ditt vin Ge mig akvavits och sång Åh jag saknar ..... hem Men solen brinner Vinet smakar sött Kvinnorna är mjuka Ge mig akvavits, ge mig sång, ge mig ge mig livet i norr

No spirit everlasting No radiant light I feel naked without her Tell me what to do Poor stupid pigs Born without souls Another pearl wasted before swine The darker the whore the brighter the flame Horn of Abraxas Blood for Blood Horn of Abraxas Blood for Blood We wasted the chemist’s finest on your whore The cleansing power of fire cannot be reasoned with Horn of Abraxas Blood for Blood Horn of Abraxas Blood for Blood She’s still burning She’s still burning She burns She burns

Alright, we'll give it a go I have to centre myself You fell right into my trap, hahahaha, hehehehe

about

One early listener claimed this reminded him of early Sonic Youth!!!! We're not quite sure how that came about but, hey, as many have observed before (and after!) all sorts of things can be heard in The Utter because The Utter is The Utter is The Utter. Perhaps this album is less 'death', whatever that means, than the "The Semantic Verses" but it's no less 'Contemporary Death Jazz'. This new album is twelve new tracks of improvised death jazz mayhem delivered squarely in the current day, making it assuredly contemporary.

Please allow me to introduce you all to our guests, some who have been here before and some new to The Utter. In running order, we have Kerorg (kerorgrorek.bandcamp.com), Aitch, Dayal Patterson (www.cultneverdies.com), Mars, R*, Spider God (spider-god.bandcamp.com) and Huxley, all of whom generously provided vocals. Also we have a guest musician on three of the tracks; KL Lassy brought her accordion to The Space Between and recorded some good old squeezebox. Who'd have thought that, eh?

As ever, the bulk of the music has been recorded on the Doc's bass guitar and has been funnelled through a web of effects pedals resulting in the glorious noise we have here!

The opening track "4 The Owl" was composed and is named, equivocally, in response to a call from The Owl himself for four-minute tracks for his at-the-time upcoming compilation Noisembryowl #4 owlripperrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/comp28-noisembryowl-4 Described as having breakcore rhythms, this track took the opus Untitled I theutter.bandcamp.com/track/untitled-i-part-1 from Demos (Jan 2023) as its inspiration.

"Viking Sorg" plumbs the depths of the soul of the Viking abroad, as he mourns the homeland he has left behind. "Horn Of Abraxas" is inspired, lyrically at least, by the film "Mandy" where the aforementioned horn was tooted to summon the villains of the piece. Musically it comes from an entirely different place and was stranded alone in the wilderness until Spider God happened upon it and infused it with a spark of divinity. Oh, and can I tell you this as well... While chatting with Spider God it was revealed that injecting His divinity into this otherwise unremarkable and mortal track had nudged Him out of His comfort zone and had provided inspiration to record a new album Himself!!! Allow me to introduce you all to Fau5tu5, available at fau5tu5.bandcamp.com , which was written and recorded in a day of furious activity!

"Corpsepaint" arose following a conversation with Dayal Patterson. The vocal track is taken from an interview he gave at Beyond The Gates festival discussing the evolution of the black metal aesthetic. "Storm" is inspired, if you will, by the herring gulls of St Ives, Cornwall, UK, and, indeed, features one or two of them. Their cacophony then acted as onward inspiration for our Italian colleague, Kerorg, to compose and perform the lyrics. "Supreme" is Aitch's interpretation of Cara Supreme (Giulio Cesare), blending some opera into the dissonance. An early listener commented that "The Bride Of Caracas" sounds felt like an ancient sea invasion with the sounds of the oars of the invading ship, but it is however inspired by a Venezualan tale of a bride who failed to reach her wedding, while Huxley's "Trap" serves as the perfect closing track, allowing you to escape back to normality, or is it? Hahaha hehehe
