SOUND

For an amazing 44 years WIRE has been in the ranks of the relentless innovators of rock music. On their first albums at the end of the 70s they played a sharp, splintery, icy punk; but already at that time their minimalism was rooted in the acoustic and harmonic
wisdom of prog rock and psychedelia. Since then they have been exploring and advancing this combination in an array of different variations, often more playful than in the early years, but always surprising, focused, consistent: Their latest album Mind Hive is so powerful and melodically accessible, as if they are starting their careers anew.
