Biography:
28 mei jongstleden legde Spilt Milk hun twee-akkoorden-free-folk-drone-boogie vast op tape. Het repertoire (bewerkingen van dode amerikaanse dichters als Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams en Wallace Stevens) werd de afgelopen maanden opgevoerd in diverse huiskamers als De Nieuwe Anita, de Vera Kelderbar en die van Haron & Nienke. Producer Jan Schenk (= God) bood vervolgens aan deze chaos voor het nageslacht te documenteren.
Die viering van "flesh and air" bleek dermate voor de liefhebber (van folky Velvet Underground-coverband bootlegs) dat de hulp van chanteuse en spin in menig web Brenda Bosma werd ingeschakeld, wat resulteerde in het afsluitende prijsnummer One By One, een one-taker die het terstond tot Subbacultcha! mp3 of the day wist te schoppen. Daarvoor horen we The Milk zich schor zingen over slotloze deuren, de lente, Oklahoma, the police sergeant's wife, beren, Robert Johnson, de hemel als tombe en ben zo terug. Een minimalistisch meesterwerkje in een klein half uur, dat nu met de goedkeuring van het Subroutine Records, in een voorlopige oplage van 20 op cassette wordt uitgebracht. Het is ook, zolang de bandbreedte strekt, in zijn geheel te downloaden op www.spltmlk.nl (klikken op Sha'n't A en Sha'n't B).

One review :
INCENDIARY MAGAZINE
22/10/11 | Richard Foster
It’s unbelievable that a crabby old listener like me can fall for this sugar-coated dream stuff: but I do.
Now I don’t know how the new Spilt Milk record, How To Perform a Funeral, is going to be released: Marc pressed two separate demo CDs into my hands recently, one with Brenda singing, and another - entitled Spilt Milk - which had been released by “hipster” magazine Subbacultcha!. Apparently there will be things from both added to the nascent album. Fair enough.
Spilt Milk is a six track package with Marc or Marc and Brenda doing vox, but I will say this before I go any further: good as the Subbacultcha! CD is, Another View (the CD with the songs showcasing Brenda), is unbelievable, shocking, revelatory. It’s the stuff that brings you out in goose bumps. The sonic template for both CDs is as normal for the band: laconic, drawling and deliberately rickety appropriations of late 19th /early 20th century poets, (Robert Frost, YB Yeats etc.), and as ever its great fun, charming and somehow (despite nabbing every lick Lou Reed used on White Light White Heat) sounding original. Happy Genius and No-one Left But God are great groovy knees ups, glorifying in their lo-fi sound. A Late Walk is a gentle strum, dissolving into nervous laughter at times.
Anyway, Brenda’s CD, let’s talk about that, or rather, rave about it. All the Tired Horses is a tremendous beginning, sounding like a lullaby sung by a fairy-tale character from the Nutcracker rather than a creaking old Dylan track. Take One Home For the Kiddies is a brilliantly affirmative appropriation of curmudgeon Philip Larkin, and Tea at the Palaz of Hoon is a dreamy, trippy stroll in the afternoon sun. Why Did You Go is a daft duet, sounding like Lee and Nancy trying something out over the kitchen table. But, and this is the thing to really remember, everywhere… everywhere… Brenda’s warm, soothing tones bring a golden aura to the recordings, conjuring up childlike reminiscences of things past and yet to come. It’s unbelievable that a crabby old listener like me can fall for this sugar-coated dream stuff: but I do.
