Praise for the new album 'Wire': "The quality and freshness evident here make Wire sound more like an exciting new band than one with 35 years’ experience" 4* - The Guardian "They always did stand apart from the pack. Excellent" 4* - Q "An album that is very much about now " - The Quietus "Wire's music is extraordinarily accessible" - Sunday Times "They effortlessly fuse light, melodic pop with artful, angular guitar grind and enigmatic words" 4* - The Independent "Few groups have demonstrated such a consistent drive, desire for newness & commitment to experimentation over a career of this length" - Dummy "For those new to the band, Wire’s pleasures lie waiting, ready for those who want to take a chance on a daunting discography and a heck of a backstory that still keeps being added to" - 7/10, Pitchfork For more information please contact kate@stereosanctity.co.uk / t. +44 7812 607 230.
