Comment:

If you’re going to take the Wire journey, don’t be surprised if it makes some abrupt turns, detours, and even a couple of quick about-faces along the way. Any band that can go from the primal punk minimalism of the rough-edged “Three Girl Rhumba” to the sweeping industrial soundscapes of “Public Place” is covering a serious amount of ground. By the time they started turning out sleek, synth-pop tunes like “So and Slow It Grows,” they’d come so far that they even changed the spelling of their name to Wir for a while. But “Smash,” from 2011’s Red Barked Tree, shows that even after three and a half decades, Wire — yes, they put the e back — can still blend punk power with artful atmospheres, and make it all look deceptively easy.
