Strays

I got this CD as a bonus from ordering Red Barked Tree directly from Wire mail order. The disc opens with re-recordings of a couple of Bell Is a Cup era songs, “Boiling Boy” and “German Shepherds.” Stripped of their electronic dance arrangements these songs are great straight up rock tunes—A hint at what was to come next.
