condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (very light wear)  David Thomas's 1982 solo project during Pere Ubu's first hiatus. The Pedestrians featured avant-garde musicians creating sparse, experimental backing for Thomas's increasingly abstract vocal approach. The sound is deliberately minimal and psychologically unsettling - nothing extraneous, every element chosen for maximum emotional and sonic effect. Thomas explores similar psychological territory to Pere Ubu but with even less concern for accessibility or conventional song structure. His voice becomes another instrument to be manipulated and processed rather than traditional singing. Challenging work for serious adventurers only, but rewarding for those willing to engage.
