Back with a new album Red Barked Tree .. out on this very day!!! 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. The new Album 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. The band were formed in London in October 1976 by Colin Newman. They've had 12 studio albums, countless Live and Compilation albums and their most famous tunes are I Am The Fly, Outdoor Miner and Map Reference 41N 93W" which Marc uses as a music bed on the show. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:23:50 -0800 From: Paul Pietromonaco Subject: [idealcopy] Wire review in Entertainment Weekly Hi everyone, EW did a review of Red Barked Tree: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20455765,00.html The late-'70s postpunk legends expand on their famously minimal sound in Red Barked Tree, piling on plenty of psych-pop texture on ''Adapt'' and utilizing what might be an acoustic guitar (!) on the dreamy title track. That said, frontman Colin Newman hasnt exactly mellowed since re-forming Wire in 2000. ''F--- off out of my face,'' he warns over a sleek funk groove on opener ''Please Take.'' ''You take up too much space.'' [Grade:] B Cheers, Paul ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V13 #3 ******************************
