2015 reissue on black vinyl

Pere Ubu emerged from the urban wastelands of mid-70s Clevelandto impact the American underground for generations to come; led byhulking frontman David Thomas, whose absurdist warble andrapturously demented lyrics remained the band's creative focusthroughout their long, convoluted career, Ubu's protean art punksound harnessed self-destructing melodies, scattershot rhythms, andindustrial-strength dissonance to capture the angst and chaos oftheir times with both apocalyptic fervor and surprising humanity.Their 1978 album, Dub Housing, is widely considered theirmasterpiece. Darker and more difficult than The Modern Dance(indicated by the cover's darkened apartment complex and stormyCleveland skyline) with plenty of bleak soundscapes (e.g.,"Codex"), Dub Housing also includes Navvy's bouncy burble(featuring Thomas yelping "I have desires!"), and (Pa) Ubu DancePartys surreal big beat. Make no mistake, as much as Ubu indulgedin arty dissonance and mucked about with song structure, this isvery much a rock & roll record, albeit one made by a bandinterested in pushing the envelope when it came to sound, songconstruction, and performance. As much as this is a band effort,the guitar of Tom Herman and the synthesizer of Allen Ravenstinefrequently stand out. Herman's strong, polished playing veers fromassertive riffing to assaultive noise; Ravenstine, who may be oneof the all-time great synth players, colors the sound with ominouswhooshes of distortions, blips, and blurbs that sound like asped-up Pong game. But, as is often the case with Ubu, it's DavidThomas' singing (here at its most engagingly unrestrained) that isfront and center. Part comic foil, part raging madman, Thomasutilizes all of his limited range in a whacked expressiveness builtaround hiccups, yodels, screeches, and, sometimes, singing. DubHousing sold next to nothing but it remains an important andinfluential American rock record.
