about
Gilbert & Lewis were members of the innovative and highly influential post-punk band Wire - whose three late 70s albums "Pink Flag", "Chairs Missing" and "154" were a fertile and increasingly abstract voyage into the possibilities of the post-punk musical universe. By 1980, the band were on the brink of losing their record deal with EMI and were starting to fragment into separate recording units. 4AD’s Ivo was a big Wire fan, and after meeting him at a Bauhaus show, Bruce and Graham offered 4AD some material they had been working on. Shortly afterwards, a 12' "Like This For Ages" was released under the name Cupol; this was followed by the full length album "3R4" and 7' single "Ends With The Sea / Hung Up To Dry Whilst Building An Arch" which were credited simply to B.C.Gilbert・G.Lewis. Also Gilbert & Lewis continued Cupol ideas as Dome. In same time they also released few albums as trio bcGilbert / gLewis / russellMills, Duet Emmo; and one album as P'o User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
