Track will appear on group’s upcoming LP, Mind Hive, which they’re supporting with newly announced tour dates set for the spring
. The LP is due out January 24th.
“Are you scoping the future? Are you scouting the trail?” guitarist-singer Colin Newman sings amid grinding riffs. The song is short but not so sweet as Newman later asks, “Are you hiding your tail? Are you facing extinction?” “The lyric/text for this song could be read as a series of questions, set in 2017,” the band’s bassist and vocalist, Graham Lewis, said in a statement. “Who could have known the answers would be, in no particular order … Liverpool FC, me, Boris the Spider, 67, Lieutenant Colonel.”
“‘Primed and Ready’ was the easiest song to write on the album, written in less time than it takes to play it,” Newman said. “There’s nothing remotely ‘clever’ about the chord sequence and structure, and there’s only three chords: two in the verse and one in the chorus. As in all things Wire, ‘less is more.'”
