Album Notes & Community Reviews
Releasing their second masterpiece within a single year, Pere Ubu descended even further into beautifully surreal, deeply abstract avant-garde terror. 'Dub Housing' is a profoundly anxious, intensely dissonant exploration of urban decay, pairing Allen Ravenstine's shrieking synthesizers with highly repetitive, deeply disturbing post-punk structures.
