Description:Object 47 (the 47th object in their discography) is only Wire's eleventh studio album. It is the second product of an arc of work that began in 2006 and it has so far yielded the rather well-received EP Read And Burn 03 (from which no tracks appear on Object 47), and stands as a confident statement of where Wire is in 2008-as ever, looking forward! While retaining Wire's idiosyncratic mix of an avant-garde mindset with classic pop timing, this album boasts 'tunes with zoom', a unique formula that somehow manages to sound wholly Wire (in a classic sense) and wholly contemporary. Wire will play festivals throughout Europe and tour USA in October of 2008. In the five years since the May 2003 release of their last full length album, Send, Wire is not the same as it was before-but then Wire is never the same as it was before.
Recorded and mixed at Swim Studio, London. Additional recording at Metropolis 22, Rotterdam and ticktop, Sweden. Mastered at Skye Mastering. Published by pinkflag/mutesong. On Rear: ? &© 2008 pinkflag. On CD: ? 2008 pinkflag © pinkflag/mutesong Distribution: Cargo Records (Europe) & Revolver (North America) Issued as a standard Digipak.

It’s strange to have one of the great post-punk bands of all-time — indeed, one of the vanguards of the genre that’s had such a massive impact on cont...

Calling anything a "return to form" by Wire would be ignoring that the band has no form—its career has been dedicated to reinvention, moving from the ...

The first thing you’re likely to note about Object 47, is that the lyrics are filled with questions. Actually, wait, ha ha, that’s a lie. The first th...

In the right hands, there’s nothing better for a guitar than the sound of a solid-state amplifier. The transistorized amp, seen in the late ’70s and e...

Object 47 marks an unexpected turning point in the 30-year history of Wire: It's their first album that doesn't feature all the original members. Wh...
