Red Barked Tree
''Red Barked Tree'' is the twelfth studio album by the English post-punk band Wire, digitally released on 20 December 2010, and as a CD on 10 January 2011. Featuring eleven tracks covering a diverse range of musical styles, the record was well received by critics, who found the record representing the "essence of their best work",〔 covering "virtually all aspects of Wire's varied history" to create "a stylistic best-of composed of new material".〔
==Writing and recording==
The departure of founding member Bruce Gilbert in 2006 left Wire as a trio composed of Colin Newman (vocals, guitar, various), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals, various) and Robert Grey (drums). Having released ''Object 47'' in 2008, the band had originally intended to record ''Red Barked Tree'' in December 2009, at Githead and Wire soundman Frankie Lievaart's studio in Rotterdam. When Lievaart proved unable to trace, having left the country with Gogol Bordello, the only alternative would have been Newman's swim ~ studio, but as Newman explained to emusic.com, this would not have been suitable: "I can produce fairly decent-sounding mixes here (swim ~ ), but for physical recording, if you're going to record drums in a nice room, first of all you've got to have a nice room, and someone who knows how to record drums. If you're going to record a whole band, you've got to have the right place to do it." Their preferred option not being available, the band therefore decided to book four days in a commercial studio in London, which put the recording date back to February 2010.〔
Newman had written some songs for the album: "My method of writing songs, which I hadn't used for 30 years, is to write them on acoustic guitar. They take an average of five minutes each. If it's not written in five minutes, it's not going to get written. I'd sit on the couch, play a bit, if I had some words from Graham, jam 'em in, record it to my iPhone, then I'd present a bunch of songs to Rob and Graham. Rob said (), 'It sounds like the '70s' and Graham said, 'I hate acoustic guitar,' so I knew we were onto a winner. That's so classic Wire."〔
However, one week before recording was due to start, a dearth of material became apparent: "I had four songs written, because that was all the lyrics I had from Graham. And I realized I wasn't getting any more words out of him. So I had to write a song a day so there was enough. Graham came with a couple of things, but there was no way he would come with enough songs to fill out the rest of the record. So I took an instant editorial decision that was what was going to happen. Some of those words stayed, and some of those words got worked on by Graham and me. That was it, basically."〔 The band worked on more than a dozen songs, dropping those that were not "working quite well enough".〔 Many of the songs were recorded in a single take, the band playing as a threesome: "You have to understand, as a three-piece, we'd very rarely played together. () So (Red Barked Tree, ) I thought, 'Let's see how it goes in the studio.' We worked with an engineer that we'd never worked with before, who was Irish. We did 'Moreover,' and after we were done playing, he came in and said, 'You make a big fookin' noise for three.'"〔 The band felt vindicated.〔
