Wire – Send (Pinkflag)
Released in 2003 on the band's own Pinkflag label, Send marks a ferocious new phase for the post-punk legends. Featuring all four original members, the album serves as a modern, aggressive reinterpretation of their classic 1977 debut, Pink Flag. Combining "machine-punk" production with industrial beats and rich beds of distortion, Send delivers a sound that is as heavy as it is nuanced.
Described as a bold statement from a veteran band, the record pummels the listener with "machine-gun" rhythms and bass so distorted it borders on melodrama. Despite the sonic onslaught, Wire maintains the precision and art-rock invention that defined their early career, proving they remain essential "saviours of rock 'n' roll."
Key Tracks:
- "Being Watched": A fantastic, "sexy strut" of a track.
- "In the Art of Stopping": A powerful display of layered, shoegaze-like distortion.
- "The Agfers of Kodack": Noted as a pinnacle of punk satire and one of the band's finest moments.
- "Mr Marx’s Table": A heavy, drone-rock standout.
- "Spent": Features Colin Newman’s barking vocals over a classic, high-energy groove.
Whether you are a long-time devotee or a newcomer to their avant-garde style, Send is a visceral reminder of Wire’s enduring status as sonic architects of the underground.
