Griller

Out

The latest installment in the UT reissue series. Originally recorded and released in 1989. Steve Albini recorded this album, and captured UT at the peak of their creative powers. Long out of print, the album has been remastered for this release. "For Ut's last record, Steve Albini was a smart choice for engineer, both being an Ut fan and having a way with dissonant, anti-rock kinds of groups. The guitars are beefier on Griller, and again, the songs sound more polished and rehearsed, but none of this detracts from the gleeful mania contained within these grooves. Not the first Ut purchase you should make but if you're already humming along to these skewed tunes, you owe it to yourself to seek this long-lost record out."—All Music. RSD edition includes a bonus 7-inch with the tracks "Fuel" and "Griller X."

In Gut's House

Out Records

Radical No Wave pioneers Ut reissue their critically acclaimed In Gut’s House album—their second studio album originally released in 1988 on Blast First Records, now fully remastered with original cover artwork, song lyrics and band photos. It made the year’s NME ‘Top 50 Albums’. Ut is a radical rock group founded by Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young in Dec ’78. Originating in the downtown NYC No Wave scene and inheritors of the collision between rock, free jazz and the avant-garde, they exploded the rigidity of conventional rock, constructing songs through collective improvisation, swapping instruments and rotating the role of singer / director. Migrating to London in 1981, Ut played with bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party and released music on their own label Out Records, including Live At The Venue In 1982, the Ut EP in 1984, the Confidential 12-inch in 1985 and their first studio album Conviction in 1986. Ut became a favorite of BBC’s John Peel and recorded sessions for his show in 1984, 1985 and 1987.  “In Gut’s House, from beginning to end, is a chance seized and transported?. Their vision is a total vision. Ut make unreasonably adult music, with raw complex emotions! There’s no one like them.”  —Mark Sinker, NME

Early Live Life

Out Records

Early Live Life is a compilation of some of UT’s best live performances from 1979–1985, spanning their origins in New York City to their migration to London in late 1981. The CD also includes the addition of a 1981 gig at The Venue in London, originally released as the cassette UT Live At The Venue in early 1982 and reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day in April 2018.  The UT reissue campaign began on November 17, 2017 with the release of s/t & Confidential. Upcoming reissues in 2019 include their studio albums Conviction, In Gut’s House and Griller. Remastered at Wolf Studios by Dominique Brethes, vinyl cut by Noel Summerville. The live tracks jump out of the vinyl with some verve, as visceral now as they were live back in the ‘80s. This is searing no-wave power in the live setting, originally released in 1987 by Blast First Records.  “There really was nothing like the storm and squall they summoned at their most powerful… Breathtaking and bold.”  —Early Live Life – No. 24 in “Rock’s 50 Most Extreme Albums”, Uncut, March 2018

S/t & Confidential

Out Records

The Ut reissue campaign starts with their s/t and Confidential EPs, remastered by Dominique Brethes at Wolf Studios and repackaged as a double 12-inch (both cut at 45rpm for maximum sound fidelity) and a CD. Ut is a radical rock group founded by Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young in NYC in Dec 1978. Originating in the downtown No Wave scene and inheritors of the collision between rock, free jazz and the avant-garde, the band exploded the rigidity of conventional rock, constructing songs through collective improvisation, swapping instruments and rotating the role of singer / director.  Migrating to London in 1981, Ut played with bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party and released music on their own label, Out Records, becoming a favorite of BBC’s John Peel and recorded sessions for his show. Joining forces in 1987 with the label Blast First, they released the critically acclaimed In Gut’s House in 1988 and made the NME Top 50 Albums that year. As The Washington Post exclaimed, “With In Gut’s House, Ut has scraped and droned one of the finest underground rock albums of the year... The tightly interwoven, firmly focused sound... is rich, spooky, urgent and quite unexpectedly beautiful.”  The album Griller followed in 1989, engineered by label mate Steve Albini, who shared the band’s raw aesthetic and captured their intensity. They disbanded in 1990 and began performing again in 2010, touring the US, UK, Ireland and Europe.
