,: The career of Wire, frontman Colin Newman once proudly :,
: announced, is ôa one-way tripö. ItÆs not an idle boast. On stage :
:' today, you might get one song from their ôclassicö 70s albums ':
,: or their first reunion in the 80s, but itÆs best not to book a :,
: ticket under that assumption: whole tours have gone by where :
:' Wire barely acknowledged they had a past at all. ':
,: :,
: Wire Mind Hive album art work :
:' Wire Mind Hive album art work ':
,: ItÆs an approach thatÆs infected the music they make. If Mind :,
: Hive were the debut by a hot new band, you suspect whatÆs left :
:' of the music press would be doing their nut over it. It feels ':
,: sinewy and stripped back, precise and pop-facing even on its :,
: roomiest tracks. Hung rests on one chord for eight minutes, but :
:' the vocal melody that weaves around it is so strong, you hardly ':
,: notice. One of its signature sounds is a kind of tightly :,
: controlled chaos û corrosively distorted guitars and feedback :
:' hemmed in by tense rhythms and some of the most ':
,: straightforwardly beautiful tunes Wire have ever come up with. :,
: The other is more lushly electronic, vaguely recalling the :
:' moments on Brian EnoÆs Before and After Science when he pressed ':
,: his ambient experiments into the service of gorgeous, hazy :,
: ballads. :
:' ':
,: The loveliest of the latter category is Mind HiveÆs closing :,
: track, Humming, which, with an impressive degree of perversity, :
:' uses its drowsy synth textures and echoing guitars to support a ':
,: lyric that prickles with anxiety: at the rise of political :,
: populism, alleged Russian interference in elections, the :
:' creeping dread that things may have changed not merely for the ':
,: worse, but irrevocably so. In fact, thereÆs no mistaking the :,
: sense of fear that runs through vast swathes of Mind Hive. :
:' Cactused depicts the world as starkly, implacably divided, a ':
,: longstanding obsession with the way reality can be distorted û :,
: ôthe problems of bad reception resulting in blurred perception,ö :
:' as 1978Æs French Film Blurred put it û retooled for the ':
,: adversarial world of social media: ôitÆs a throw-down, itÆs a :,
: tag-team angle, itÆs a face-off, itÆs a cheap low-blow.ö Shadows :
:' is even grimmer: a vocal evenly relating an incident of ':
,: apparently state-sanctioned mass murder, set once again to music :,
: thatÆs weirdly charming in its simplicity. :
:' ':
,: ItÆs the strange, appealing sound of a band doggedly following :,
: their own path, eyes fixed forward. :
