In 1980, after three relentlessly creative albums, the members of Wire were at an impasse, unsure of how to push themselves any further as a four-piece rock band. While front man Colin Newman spent the band's hiatus mining Wire's knack for intelligent and contorted pop songs, guitarist Bruce Gilbert and bassist\/vocalist Graham Lewis joined forces for a series of experimental projects (Dome, Cupol, etc.) where the primary motivating concept was \"studio as instrument.\" 3R4, the duo's only LP under the B.C. Gilbert\/G. Lewis moniker and the very second album to be released on 4AD, eschews melody and structure in favor of ambient-noise soundscapes, metallic textures and tense moods. If the brief \"Barge Calm\" tracks appear like sonic exercises, the longer pieces (\"3. 4...\" and \"R\") are true exorcisms, conjuring supernatural found-sounds with the patience and deliberation of (un)holy men. Play this record loud and try not to think that it is the soundtrack to a lost David Lynch film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Barge Calm \u003cbr\u003e1.2 3. 4 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Barge Calm \u003cbr\u003e1.4 R\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gilbert, BC \/ Lewis, G.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32080444686407,"sku":"27513798","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2816349.jpg?v=1747759210","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/gilbert-bc-lewis-g-3r4","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
