Title across the release:
The Residents present THE UGHS!
There are no track durations printed on the release.
"When The Residents begin work on their 2007 opus to insanity, The Voice of Midnight, the group felt the need to shake things up, consequently they created an alter ego through which they could act out new roles. Proudly, The Residents christened this conceptual alter ego as THE UGHS! Utilizing this new persona, THE UGHS quickly became the perfect vehicle for exploring the conflicted emotions of Nate, the Voice of Midnight's tormented protagonist. The group then fashioned "written music" from the raw, impulsive ideas created by The UGHS!, building the musical structure of The Voice of Midnight on these pieces.
Two years later these original UGHS! recordings were rediscovered; freed from its previous role ing The Voice of Midnight's narrative, the music suddenly sounded as fresh as when it was first recorded. The time had come to resurrect THE UGHS. Falling in the direction of a ritualized, primitive free jazz, The UGHS! is unlike anything ever created by The Residents." (notes from release)

Edited 4 years agoThis instrumental album is really experimental, unlike most Rez "experimental electronic" albums that are both "poppish", has a narrative, are being funny and/or even sing-a-long friendly. And I've listened to them for 41 years...this is perhaps their most underrated album. Not their best, but heavily underrated, unappreciated and not much talked about.
