Erewhon is David Thomas and Two Pale Boys' debut album, as well as Thomas' first record outside the Pere Ubu banner since that group's reformation in 1987.[3][4] The Two Pale Boys are a duo consisting of Keith Moliné on guitar and Andy Diagram on trumpet and other instruments.[5]
The Chicago Reader wrote that the trio "create a sparser and more spontaneous format that allows Thomas to do his thing; their improvised accompaniment encompasses elements of techno, garage rock, and sea chanteys."[6] The Los Angeles Times deemed the album "a veritable cacophony" and "heartily irritating."[7] The Santa Fe New Mexican concluded that it "sounds pretty much like vintage Ubu without a rhythm section."[8]
All tracks composed by David Thomas, Keith Moliné and Andy Diagram; except where indicated
