Our Take

After years of pushing sonic boundaries and challenging conventions, Pere Ubu is back with their latest album "Worlds in Collision." And let me tell you, this collision is like when your granny's old fashioned taste in music crashes head on with your teenage rebellion - a beautiful mess that leaves you wanting more.

From the opening track, "Howl," it's clear that Pere Ubu is not here to play it safe. With its raw energy and unconventional instrumentation, the band takes us on a wild ride through a musical minefield of avant-garde punk and post-punk influences.

Tracks like "Flicking Cigarettes at the Sun" and "Bus Station" showcase Pere Ubu's ability to blend chaos and precision with catchy melodies and insightful lyrics. It's as if frontman David Thomas is leading us on a wacky tour through his own twisted mind, and we can't help but dance along to the madness.

But it's not all fun and games on "Worlds in Collision." The album also delves into darker themes, like the haunting "Harbor of Infinite Sorrow" and the eerie "Firefly Night." Pere Ubu manages to create a sense of unease and discomfort that is both exhilarating and unsettling.

In the end, "Worlds in Collision" is a testament to Pere Ubu's enduring creativity and willingness to take risks. It may not be for everyone, but if you're willing to let go of your preconceptions and dive headfirst into the chaos, you'll find a musical experience like no other. Bold, brilliant, and utterly bonkers - Pere Ubu has done it again.
