• Wire - Eardrum Buzz, Mute 1989

    After reforming In 1985, the group increased their use of electronic musical instruments, eventually leading to the self-firing of drummer Robert Gotobed in 1990 (and thus prompting the band to drop one letter from their name to become Wir). The band released their fifth album A Bell Is a Cup…Until It Is Struck on Mute in 1988, based on live recordings, heavily re-arranged, edited and remixed in the studio. “Eardrum Buzz” was one of the few new songs on the album and became the band’s biggest charting single.
