Pere Ubu "The Modern Dance" (1978)
Ooh, I'm only the opening track at the moment but I'm quite liking it
already. Kind of punk but with a whole lot of melody and noise.
...the album seems to be continuing in that vein. A punky sound and energy, but mixed with melody, humour and a heavy slice of avant garde,
from musique concrete to just beautiful horrible noises being
injected.
At times this sounds akin to a more interesting version of
the 00s' indie music, like one song sounds a bit like Bloc Party... but
like 'good' Bloc Party, not like the real Bloc Party...
Just when you think you've got a handle on the band, the penultimate
track "Sentimental journey" takes you on what is more like a nightmare
journey! With smashing glasses, outbreaks of noise in amongst ambient
meanderings.
Highly recommend this one!
