This Friday we’re lucky enough to have living-legend Ted Milton celebrating the release of his new album Déjeuner Sous L’Herbe, a critically acclaimed masterpiece.

Déjeuner Sous L’Herbe by The Odes brings together the poetic genius of Ted Milton, legendary frontman of Blurt, and the idiosyncratic electronic artistry of Sam Britton, fusing avant-garde sound assemblages, free improv, experimental electronica, and expressive verse — due for 2CD / DL release via the Not Applicable label on Fri 6th Feb 2026.

“Truly innovative” – BBC Late Junction

“Deliciously and maddeningly unclassifiable” – The Wire

“Fearless” – Electronic Sound
