Wire - Object 47

"New Wire album details: Object 47
Wire is proud to announce that it has completed work on its 11th studio album, continuing the momentum that began with the band's 2006 reactivation and Read & Burn 03. Dubbed 'Object 47' - 47 representing its position as the 47th release in the Wire discography - the album finds Wire utilising the core writing partnership responsible for Pink Flag, Colin Newman and Graham Lewis. The latest release is described by the band as having "tunes with zoom", and this is best illustrated by the melodic and textural development already suggested by elements of last year's Read & Burn 03.

The full track-listing for the album is: One Of Us; Circumspect; Mekon Headman; Perspex Icon; Four Long Years; Hard Currency; Patient Flees; Are You Ready?; All Fours.

Object 47 will be on sale later this year, direct from PostEverything and via record stores worldwide. A final release date will be announced shortly, and so sign up to the mailing list to be the first to find out when the album will surface."

Sheesh, their 47th release?!

Excellent news, thanks Blir. I check Pink Flag once in a blue moon, and apparently missed the news that Bruce Gilbert left in '04. I wonder if Gotobed is still drumming for them? When I saw "core writing partnership", I got the notion both he and Gilbert was gone. Time to get on the mailing list so I know what's up.
