In November 2013, when Wire performed live at the KEXP studio, they were promoting their album "Change Becomes Us," which was released earlier that same year. This album marked a notable return for the band, showcasing their evolution while revisiting their early sound. "Change Becomes Us" is particularly significant as it was the first album of new material since their 2008 record "Object 47" and introduced a fresh dynamic reflecting their post-punk roots blended with contemporary influences. The live performance included songs like "Adore Your Island" and "Stealth Of A Stork," highlighting Wire's ability to experiment and adapt while still retaining their distinct style. Additionally, this performance underscores Wire’s ongoing relevance in the music scene, as they continue to engage with both long-time fans and new listeners, an aspect that has characterized their career since the 1970s.
