"The Art of Walking" is the fourth Pere Ubu full-length. Mayo Thompson of The Red Krayola joined as guitarist for this album, and slanted the proceedings further towards deconstruction and abstraction, and away from the primal rock that former guitarist Tom Herman had facilitated. The group would record one more album with Thompson before disbanding. A notable devotee of the album was avante garde musician and future Pere Ubu member Chris Cutler.
