Pere Ubu
Why I Hate Women



Label: Smog Veil
Country: USA

"'Why I Hate Women' rocks from start to finish is very clear, by a couple of reasons: Pere Ubu's bizarre creative genius and their devotion on quality rather than sales. The disc is as introspective, thoughtful and high-spirited as a conversation with an old friend (David Thomas)... across these 47 minutes, his frenzied puissance burns through. The tracks included in 'Why I Hate Women' are cerebral, rugged canticles that are best savored slowly, under the brume of your favorite incense and the glow of a candle or two. It's auspicious to see Pere Ubu, twenty-seven years into their career, moving so assuredly in new directions rather than go back over to old ideas. 'Why I Hate Women' is more than a good album. A frantic, obscure masterpiece that stays in the command echelon of avant-punk primacy. But, who am I to talk about Pere Ubu? They are too huge. I found these sweet notes written by David Thomas about WIHW: "My work on an album begins as a sound I hear in my head. This sound partly anticipates the evolutionary path of the band according to my understanding of the musicians involved and it partly reflects my personal hopes for my own work. I construct or intuit a back story to that sonic framework. This back story is more or less detailed and is peopled with characters. Sometimes elements of this back story appear in lyrics. Not always. The purpose of the album then becomes to capture a specific psychological moment from one of those characters. The 10-11 songs on an album become the dots on a pointillist canvas which serves to capture that moment. Finally there is the album title. This is the last chance to shape the envelope of that moment. As I have stated elsewhere the back story for this album was the Jim Thompson novel he never wrote. The title came to me as I was sitting in my local during what we call the Dysfunctional Hour. Some pubs have Happy Hour. The Nep has Dysfunctional Hour. The title seemed to me to be the perfect Jim Thompson title."-Sabas
