Song of the Bailing Man is the fifth album by Midwest avant-garde/art-rockers Pere Ubu, released in 1982 on Rough Trade. The album would be the final release from the band’s first span of activity. Musically, the album displays newfound metric density and instrumental tightness, replete with trademark sonic colorization and off-harmonics.
