Tamakeri by The Udder
TO BE RELEASED ON HALLOWEEN
Recorded in a dark dungeon outside Boulder, Colorado, TAMAKERI is the debut studio album by The Udder. It is a genre-bending musical rollercoaster that ranges from the most aggressive Metal to the lightest Jazz, and everything in between. Some examples include the Latin breakdown in The Organ Player Has Been Vaporized, the Cowboy Ballad in The Murder Room, and even the 50s throwback title track. The album is constantly unpredictable and relentlessly heavy.
The Udder was formed at CU Boulder by Brennen Schedler and Josh Mundt, two students in the college's Jazz department. Using their jazz backgrounds, they decided to apply the improvisational stylings of Jazz music to Metal using influences such as John Zorn, Ornette Coleman, Death, and At the Gates. The combination resulted in music that was heavily improvised but also extremely technical and heavy.
The majority of these songs were premiered at the band's 2019 Halloween Special at the Muse in Lafayette. Coming full circle, the album is being released on Halloween 2020 and will coincide with another performance at the Muse where the band will be playing Tamakeri in its entirety.
