Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Cloudland' was released in 1989, Pere Ubu had already established a reputation for innovation in the post-punk landscape with their previous albums like 'The Tenement Year' (1988). This album marked a continuation of their exploration into more melodic and structured compositions while retaining their experimental edge. It was also notable as the first release after the departure of founding member Allen Ravenstine.
