After the organizers of Record Store Day pushed back their annual event \u2014 and a number of release dates along with it \u2014 Wire<\/a> decided to put out 10:20<\/em><\/a>, their upcoming compilation of reworked songs and what they\u2019ve called \u201cstrays\u201d from throughout the years, on June 19th.<\/p>\n

Although it was originally scheduled to be a vinyl-only release, 10:20<\/em> will now get a full release on all formats.<\/p>\n

The band is teasing the new release with \u201cThe Art of Persistence,\u201d a song they wrote in 2000 following their 1999 reunion. The track was previously available only as a rehearsal room recording, issued on the EP The Third Day<\/em>, and as a live recording on the album Recycling Sherwood Forest<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Where the EP version (dubbed a \u201cfirst draft\u201d on the release) sounded like a loose, almost new-wavey exercise, the new, fully mixed version of the song for 10:20<\/em> feels more dramatic and, in some ways, sadder. The song\u2019s video features footage filmed at a Manchester gig in January. With the video\u2019s release, the band is asking for donations for the National Independent Venue Association\u2019s \u201cSave Our Stages\u201d campaign<\/a>, whose goal is to help venues reopen when the time comes.<\/p>\n

Singer-guitarist Colin Newman sings about \u201cpersistence, survival, test of the wills\u201d over waves of slowly descending riffs. It builds and builds until he starts singing about a total breakdown of communication, ending with: \u201cThe last breath is spent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the album contains reworked versions of songs that had fallen by the wayside from throughout the band\u2019s career. In March, they released the 10:20<\/em> song \u201cSmall Black Reptile,\u201d which previously appeared as an almost reggae-inspired noise-rock song on their 1990 album Manscape<\/em>. Other tracks include a version of a song they previously demoed for Chairs Missing<\/em> and songs off A Bell Is a Cup \u2026 Until It\u2019s Struck<\/em> and The Ideal Copy<\/em>.<\/p>\n
