What have the woodwose been up to lately I hear you ask? Well, it turns out there’s more where last year’s ‘The Fish Needs A Bike’ single came from. Paying tribute to their surrealist post-punk forebears, Snapped Ankles will be releasing an EP of Blurt covers for Records Store Day 2023 entitled Blurtations.
Ted Milton’s Blurt runs through the absurdist DNA of Snapped Ankles. An early iteration of the band played a version of ‘Planet You’ from different rooms of a dilapidated squat at a TOPOPHOBIA art performance night, and ‘The Fish Needs A Bike’ has found its way into the current blistering live set.
Packaged in a die-cut sleeve and pressed on yellow vinyl, Blurtations also includes a postcard which riffs on the artwork of Blurt’s self-titled debut studio album. Limited to just 1,200 copies for the world, it will land in European record shops for RSD 2023 on April 22nd, with a limited release for the rest of the world to follow.
