Nuke the Whales 2006-2014

Rewriting the history of music, Pere Ubu continue to confound convention and shift personnel. The next box set in Fire Records’ reissue series, Nuke The Whales houses 4 LPs originally released between 2006 and 2014 – Why I LUV Women, Carnival Of Souls, Lady Of Shanghai and Long Live Pere Ubu!.

All four albums have been remixed and remastered by original Pere Ubu member David Thomas. Why I LUV Women, originally released on Glitterhouse in 2006, gains its first vinyl release. It’s joined by Long Live Pere Ubu a soundtrack to a musical adaptation of the play. And Lady From Shanghai, their Fire debut for Fire in 2013. Originally released on the 35th anniversary of the group's debut, The Modern Dance, a latter day re-evaluation of the unprompted dance genre. And its follow up Carnival Of Souls, a haunting “underscore’ to a tale of alienation.
