ALBUMs

First album in three years and the first record on the Fire Records label for Cleveland’s Pere Ubu. Fire Records are already the home of Guided by Voices, Mission of Burma, and Giant Sand, so Pere Ubu now seem to found a perfect home for their music.

Still the nearest thing we have to a working twisted Talking Heads unit, the band remain a quirky as ever on ‘Lady from Shanghai’. David Thomas is the mainstay and sole surviving member of the band from its incarnation back in 1975 and this, is the band’s 15th studio album.

Already hungry for new music this early in January? Well, this record will easily satisfy that craving. It’s an album of original ideas and a record that sparks the brain back into action after all that holiday excess.

Surprising, groove laden and thought provoking music for a new year and with a UK tour in April, things are looking up already.

There is a vinyl release of the album that is pressed at 45RPM and spread across two records and a book is also available about the making of the album called ‘Chinese Whispers’
