WIRE - Send
Young dogs have taken the field, pissing on all the old trees. This isn't out of disrespect, though, just because. What else are they going to do? The Rapture, Interpol, Hot Hot Heat, you name it - they owe it. Time for the cash in, the return of the real - Wire taught us all a lesson and now they want to give the dogs a run. Why not? As their last EPs made clear, Wire manages to be relevant today, not just due to past accomplishments (which are considerable, besides). Indeed, seems to be the year of great returns so far, what with the Buzzcocks producing a good one for Merge. Of course, as noted above, the stage was well set for the return of the original art punks. So much contemporary post-punk pop music is indebted to the genius of Wire in particular. For example, Pink Flag is like an icon, one touch is all it takes - it stands up, keeps inspiring. Maybe there was some foresight here. After all, Wire was always the most literate of the earliest English punks. Maybe that's why it was easy for them to reemerge, lean and driven and ready to break new ground. Could've been a set-up all along. Let the dogs decide.
