Wire

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Manscape sound next to the rest of Wire's catalogue?

Drum Machine+2.3σ

The instrumentation foregrounds drum machine far more than the catalogue usually does.
