Cut All the Wires: 20092011, a 12-song collection of rare and unreleased tracks and demos culled from the Wye Oak archives, is an extension of the bruised and aching Civilian. Sonic paradoxes abound: the mellow Sinking Ship is preceded by the wall-of-sound grunginess that roars through Half a Double Man. A pared-down acoustic Daytrotter live session of Two Small Deaths dovetails into the jangling Holy Holy demo. The closing lyrics over the frenetic, screeching feedback of Electricity lend the anniversary release its title: Theres nothing about you that I dont adore / Show me these rooms / and Ill show you the way to the door / Walk me through / Ill cut all the wires and spend my life with you.
