Wand

Sliding between the bodies in the street, cutting across the contrails that bisect our sky, Wand find melody and the anxiety beats as they hum the soundtrack for a new gravitational center. Seeking connections against the plan of niche interest and anonymity, Vertigo is the sound of slippage, rocks of contradiction (in soft focus); feet lost, regained, lost again, a multi-chromatic swaying, more automatic, associative, directed, in time.

Wand: Ganglion Reef [CD]

En spännade ny sak från Californska Wand, nu på Drag City. Modern psychrock, där fokus ligger på ordets första stavelse. Ett annorlunda musikaliskt uttryck - framtiden?

Wand take it to the stage, to employ that sciency ol' adage: energy massed quantifies in energy released. It's all on Einstein's blackboard, check there if you don't believe us. With this formula in mind, Wand ride nine of their favorite live warhorses out in front of wholesome pre-pan fans, friends and other kinds of Californians, where the collective energies are tapped to flush even more 'all' out of their encompassing compositions. If and when you think that the all-live Spiders in the Rain is Wand's best batch yet, that's when you know: it's better when everybody's here!

Demos and unreleased songs from Wand's salad days, the time of the immortal Ganglion Reef. Available for download since 2017, this album's at last firmly sunk into vinyl grooves that realize its fullest potential in a listener's ears. These light, fizzy versions have distinctive, gleaming magic energies all of their own and they fly thrillingly through the air. Catch a wave through beautifully-abandoned space on your turntable eternal!
