Post-punk legends Wire will release their 17th studio album — a nine-song collection called Mind Hive — later this month, and they’re previewing the effort with a pair of new songs off the record: “Cactused” and “Primed & Ready,” both of which can be streamed below.

The new album is due out Jan. 24 via the band’s pinkflag label, and it’s the first newly recorded material from the band — which features original members Colin Newman, Graham Lewis and Robert Grey, plus guitarist Matthew Simms, who joined a few years after Bruce Gilbert left —  since the 2017 LP Sliver/Lead.

It can be pre-ordered now via Amazon.

Check out the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the two new songs, below.
