William Orten Carlton (ORT) on UDDER
William Carlton Orton (ORT), who was Special Correspondent for Flagpole Magazine, wrote about the band UDDER on October 23, 1991.
“Music. Udder udderly amazes me. They have the same sort of musical naivete that hallmarked Pylon at the beginning and led to Pylon being described as ‘naive artists of the first water’ by some noted critic. The two bands are really not stylistically similar, but that’s unimportant. Udder’s primitivity shakes me, and I hope it doesn’t manage to refine itself. Their three-person dramas-in-song-form are unique to everything I’ve ever seen and heard of, and I hope they continue to expand this format. This music is truly bas-relief. Big things can come of people like these who dare to be originals, however accidentally they designed it. I hope they keep it up and stay rough.”
