A sharp, inventive leap forward for XTC, Drums And Wires captures the band at a pivotal moment as they shift into a more angular, rhythm‑driven sound. Packed with new wave energy, art‑rock experimentation, and some of their most enduring songwriting, this remastered edition brings fresh clarity to a landmark album that helped define the late‑70s post‑punk landscape.
