Wire Object 47 CD

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.
