36 - WIRE - RED BARKED TREEThis whole album radiates of conviction. Formed in 1976, Wire have more than just the post-punk sentiment that characterized their seminal debut "Pink Flag." This is their twelfth album and even three and a half decades later, the band still find new avenues to power down.
The verve of youth and the collective wisdom of longevity really sparkle together on this record. It invigorates and enlivens in equal measure. It requires a few spins to get its hooks on you, but you should be happy to go along with this as the bait tastes great.
So British. So spunky. So enlightening. So thrilling. So good. Still, so good. What a band.
