- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   Here's a brand new record from one of the most classic independent rock bands
   of the last few decades! Of course, it's goddamn amazing, so don't hesitate
   to buy it.

   "At a time when back catalogue outsells fresh creativity and newcomers
   achieve fame by adding a lick of paint to their parents’ record collections,
   it’s unusual to find a band who, despite plying their trade for decades, are
   willing and able to make new work that’s as vital and relevant as their own
   illustrious past recordings. Wire are such a band, and with Red Barked Tree
   they just might have succeeded in making a statement that will sound as
   strong in 30 years as their celebrated historical oeuvre does today.
   Red Barked Tree rekindles a lyricism sometimes absent from Wire’s previous
   work and reconnects with the live energy of performance, harnessed and
   channelled from extensive touring over the past few years.
   Red Barked Tree was conceived, written and recorded mostly during 2010 by the
   pared-down line-up of Colin Newman, Graham Lewis and Robert Grey -- with no
   guests. Ranging from the hymnal “Adapt” to the barking sledgehammer art-punk
   of “Two Minutes,” the album encompasses the full palette of style and nuance
   that has always endeared Wire to pastel- tinged pop aficionados and
   bleeding-edge avant-rockers alike.
   Whatever Wire make is Wire music: this is the band’s enigmatic guiding axiom.
   While Wire remain agnostic about the nature and identity of their aesthetic
   essence, it’s always been instantly recognisable, manifesting itself
   throughout their heterogeneous work. Perhaps this enigma will be revealed
   when we find the “Red Barked Trees”..."
