I almost missed this. Wire has a second album, 10:20, out this year. And it’s absolutely brilliant.

Unlike Mind Hive, their most recent album – which I thought was their strongest in years – this one seems to act as a compilation of re-recorded, reworked songs from old albums or songs that didn’t make the final cuts. The band call these “stray” tracks that have evolved over the years through love performance. Half were recorded in 2010 and the rest more recently.

There’s a less aggressive, calmer – maybe supremely assured feel to 10:20 than Hive Mind. Among the tracks I love the dreamy sound of Wolf Collides and the final track, Over Theirs, seems to me to recall Wire’s incredibly interesting music of the 1980s.

The final few minutes of the album are mesmerising.
