BonusWire - I Am The Fly (1978)
From the album Chairs Missing
Chairs Missing is the second studio album by the English rock band Wire. It was released on 8 September 1978 through Harvest Records. It uses more developed song structures than the minimalist punk rock of the group’s first album. The record was met with widespread critical acclaim.
The album peaked at number 48 in the UK Albums Chart. The single “Outdoor Miner” was a minor hit, peaking at number 51 in the UK singles chart.
Although it features some of the minimalist punk rock of the band’s debut Pink Flag, Chairs Missing contains more developed song structure (taking some cues from 1970s prog-rock, psychedelia, and art rock), keyboard and synthesizer elements brought in by producer Mike Thorne, and a broader palette of emotional and intellectual subject matter. The title is said to be a British slang term for a mildly disturbed person, as in “that guy has a few chairs missing in his front room”.
The album was released through Harvest Records on 8 September 1979.
