As art students, the musicians had to Colin Newman of course little to do with beery punk a la Sex Pistols, it was often improvisation, experiment and even, yes Art in extensive work in London. While the first three albums simple Punk with guitar, bass and drums, it was discovered in the eighties electronics, later even danceable pop (which is not really succeeded). 10 years ago there was the reunion with stick hard punk rock. I was allowed to attend the spectacle live and was impressed by the intransigence of the music. Two years ago, you answered with "Object 47", a plate with let's say modern indie pop back.
"Red Barked Tree", the new album has a little of all the previous publications, punk rock (2 Minutes), Indie (Please Take) and with the wonderful Adapt even something like a ballad.
All in all something like a Best Of Wire, but with exclusively new songs. welcome back!
