Beschreibung
In the five years since the May 2003 release of their last ful-length
album, Send, Wire has expounded, reviewed, contracted, lain dormant, recovered,
expanded, and shed an old skin and grown a new one. Wire is not the same as it
was before--but then Wire is never the same as it was before... Object 47 (the
47th object in their discography) is nonetheless only Wire's eleventh studio
album. It is the second product of an arc of work that began in 2006 and 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.
