Red Barked Tree is the tenth studio album by post-punk pioneers Wire. It features the line-up of Colin Newman, Robert Grey, and Graham Lewis. As can be heard from the lead-off single "Two Minutes," the album is a further exploration of the territory mapped out by Wire's post-2000 albums Object 47 and Send: a louder, if less abstracted, return to the style of their late seventies output. The band released the album on their own Pink Flag Records imprint.
