Wire will return with a new compilation titled 10:20 on June 19th.
The eight track album was originally scheduled to be released for Record Store Day last month, however due to the postponement of RSD Wire decided to unleash the album next month.
10:20 includes a collection of "stray" songs, including new/different versions of well known and loved Wire songs. The first four songs on the album were recorded in 2010; the final four were recorded "more recently." According to the band:
"These are recordings of pieces that couldn’t be accommodated on regular albums, as well as compositions that, following their original studio recording, evolved substantially through live performance, and so deserved a new life on record."
Wire's 10:20 will be released on vinyl and CD on June 19th. Head here to pre-order and stream the reworked version of "Small Black Reptile" below:
