i guess a description would be good...

Think Joy Division as remade by Chromatics - ah, but its so much more than that! Twisted Wires are a raging storm reflected in the retina of a solemn shoegazing guitarist, coiling a mournful down-tuned motif from his spidery guitar strings. In the 80s.

With The Horrors making like the spectral shadows cast by The Jesus & Mary Chain on new LP, “Primary Colours”, shoegaze is set to become the nu-rave of 2009 (please stop calling it nu-gaze though), and we are all for it, as we never stopped listening to “Psychocandy” and “Loveless” anyway, and, as any regular reader will know, we are all about thee darkside.

Eschewing the disco landscapes generally favoured by Italians Do It Better (even new 12″, “One Night at the Raw Deal”, is Johnny Jewel possessed by Jim Reid), Twisted Wires are a digital representation of the air surrounding The Cocteau Twins - all cobalt greys, bruised blues and slickly pitch blacks spiralling into a void of omniscient light where a wave of sweaty terror awaits you and a guitar is calling like a melted klaxon from the mountain top.

Twisted Wires - Oh Hell
(aka ripe for the sumthin take forty somethin)

“Oh Hell” (a working title) is a rolling juggernaut of wailing goth guitars, organic versions of Front 242’s punishing syndrums and Dave Gahan’s evil locked-up-in-solitary-confinement-for-20-years brother, pouring black bile vocals out from the speakers, which if your listening to this in the right physical space, are on fire in a post apocalyptic landscape where a dirty-faced child is watching and crying.
