Far from the engaged or nihilistic cries of the Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Jam, the one shouted by the London art school students who founded Wire in 1976 rather sounds like a sour laugh, minimalist and caustic. A laugh that doesn’t sound at all like any other with its succession of unexpected chords, its tracks aborted half-way and its endlessly changing rhythms. A rock ‘n’ roll deflagration, ironic and quirky just like its track list: 21 titles in less than 36 minutes! Planted in November 1977, this Pink Flag (and not black like everyone liked them at the time…) blends sharp melodies, dissonant guitars and all wound up rhythms. The position is first and foremost artsy, the name probably less legendary than those of their colleagues at the time, but, in hindsight, the influence from Wire and this first album on the indie rock of the upcoming years is simply huge… © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
