New Album Nocturnal Koreans Out April 29th via pinkflag.

Following the release of their self titled album last year, British post punk legends Wire have announced the release of a new mini album called Nocturnal Koreans, due out April 29th via pinkflag. The lead single, which shares its name with the album title, is a direct, melodic, and smooth smack in the face which chronicles a sleepless night that Wire spent in a seedy Boston-area hotel in 2013.

Bassist Graham Lewis’s lyrics make this one of guitarist Matthew Simms’s favourites on the record, largely because of the associated memories. Speaking about the track, Simms said “It’s a great snapshot of touring America, and when I hear or play that song, it reminds me of the many weird and wonderful times, places and people that cross your path.”
