Label: Superior Viaduct

Reissued 2015, Originally released 1981

Limited seven inch vinyl pressing. Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis have always juggled darkness and light in their various collaborations (Dome, Cupol, etc.); Gilbert's pointillist melodicism counterbalanced by Lewis's menacing bass and sardonic lyrics. While the duo explores cinematic soundscapes on their album 3R4, here they return to more song-based territory with icy vocals, detached guitar lines and even a faint industrial vibe. 'Ends with the Sea' provides a vital glimpse into the creative forces that even a band as daring and inventive as Wire could not contain. Recommended for fans of SPK, Chris Carter, and Einsturzende Neubauten.
