“Blurt are to white funk and white noise what Towering Inferno was to beekeeping. Ted Milton says he’s not averse to wads of money. He says he used too shout his lyrics for fear of being mistaken for a singer. And he makes very odd, very interesting records. Why not treat yourself to one right now?” NME
“Emerging in post-punk, Blurt released songs that involved saxophones, the most minimal percussion imaginable and inspired titles such as My Mother Was A Friend of an Enemy of the People. Milton, one of pop’s greatest living eccentrics, may well have been listening to Captain Beefheart and Charlie Parker – but it’s equally possible that he had never heard any music at all” The Guardian
“It’s so rare to see anything so single minded and achieved on stage, you have to remain watching. When the list is made of the authentic inheritors of Kurt Schwitters's line of subversive nonsense – orators who question the power relations of rhetoric, and unleash weevils of humour and independent thought into the grain bags of wealth and power – Ted Milton will require a special place.” The Wire
“Blurt are one of the most unclassifiable yet charming acts of the post-punk era.” Time Out
