Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by the distinctive, warbling voice of Pere Ubu's frontman, this album ventures into eccentric art-rock territory. The backing band supplies surreal, acoustic-driven instrumentation interwoven with bizarre cabaret elements. It is an anxious and poetic exploration of personal eccentricity and avant-garde sensibilities.
