Album Notes & Community Reviews
Pere Ubu effectively deconstructed their own uniquely weird post-punk sound into increasingly challenging, remarkably abstract sonic fragments on their third album. 'New Picnic Time' is a wildly chaotic, deeply avant-garde collage of dissonant synthesizer textures and David Thomas's surreal wails, marking a fascinating, highly anxious pinnacle of American art punk.
