There's a brand new wire album coming out in JANUARY! I am so excited; Wire has long been one of my all time favorite bands (and my biggest influence as a "musician").. it took me a couple of years to get into OBJECT 47 but I think it's a masterpiece now. I am very excited for this.
Red Barked Tree is the tenth studio album by post-punk pioneers Wire. It features the line-up of Colin Newman, Robert Grey, and Graham Lewis. As can be heard from the lead-off single "Two Minutes," the album is a further exploration of the territory mapped out by Wire's post-2000 albums Object 47Send: a louder, if less abstracted, return to the style of their late seventies output. The band will release the album on their own Pink Flag Records imprint on January 10th, 2011.
