Pere Ubu to release new album

"Avant Garage" act Pere Ubu will be releasing Why I Hate Women, their first new album in four years on September 19th, 2006. The band will be supporting the album with a US tour set to kick off on October 29th.

Why I Hate Women was produced by David Thomas and engineered by Paul Hamann
at Suma, Painesville OH (Grand Funk Railroad, The James Gang, The Outsiders,
Firehose, Wild Cherry) at various times during 2005, principally in October
and November. It is due out via Smog Veil Records.

The enigmatic post punk act has earned a variety of descriptions over the year, from Rolling Stone Magazine who noted "Pere Ubu have been
neglected pop geniuses for 20 years..." Stylus recently wrote
"downright irresistible to even the most hardened fuck-all-that-art-wank
musical traditionalist." And Dusted.com concurs, opining "They've since put
out music that's even more dry, frightening and violent than those early
years, so this record documents merely the first of many Ubu mood swings
between pop and noise." While blogger Jack Feeny head-scratchingly admits
"I've heard few albums quite so deliberately inaccessible as this one" and
concludes ³an excellent fusion of punk and avant-garde art-rock."
