Wire Announce ’10:20′ Rarities Compilation For Record Store Day

Wire have never been a band to rest on their laurels. Indeed, their forward-facing aesthetic is matched only by their industriousness. A scant three months after the release of the widely acclaimed “Mind Hive“, Wire return with “10:20“, a special vinyl-only Record Store Day album that morphs from bright psychedelic pop to pummelling noise, with several detours along the way. “10:20” also thrives on its own perverse logic. Herein are songs the band refers to as ‘strays’. These are recordings of pieces that couldn’t be accommodated on regular albums, as well as compositions that, following their original studio recording, evolved substantially through live performance, and so deserved a new life on record.
