Limited Edition 4LP Box Set!
Four Album Box Set Tracing the Innovative Process of Pere Ubu 2006-2014!
3 Albums Remixed & Carnival of Souls Remastered!
1st Vinyl Release For Why I LUV Women!

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!". Nuke the Whales is a nod of respect to a couple in Cleveland who would daub such messages over the big news stations' advertising boards.

"Very few bands display such dedication to constant self-reinvention as Pere Ubu." -The Quietus

Three albums have been remixed by David Thomas in 2021 with Carnival of Souls being remastered; the renamed Why I LUV Women, originally released on Glitterhouse in 2006, bore the line, "This is an irony-free recording"; it gains its first vinyl release. David Thomas says "I did an album of love songs. I studied the question of why I love women and I was concerned of people not accessing the deeper level on the songs, so I threw in the Jim Thompson-esque title to throw people off - or on to - the scent. It ended up in garbage bins in radio stations despite a full explanatory press release. You need me to spell it out? I spell it out for you on this release."

It's joined by "Long Live Pere Ubu!", a soundtrack to a musical adaptation of the play. "Skronking, squalling rhythms and melodic snippets undulating round a pulsating soundscape."-Record Collector

And Lady from Shanghai, their Fire debut from 2013. Originally released on the 35th anniversary of the group's debut, The Modern Dance, the album is 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, it "combines metallic percussion, spare guitars and David Thomas' muttered vocals into something rustic and rickety, yet threatening at a moment's notice."- AllMusic
