Vertigo

The Los Angeles quartet reinvents its sound on its sixth album, building on the cosmic post-rock improvisations first teased on 2022’s live Spiders in the Rain.

It’s been five years since Laughing Matter, a record that charted Wand’s steady evolution from high voltage garage psych warriors to purveyors of sophisticated, atmospheric art rock.

On 'Vertigo', psychedelic rockers Wand distill hours of material and add ornamentation to tracks that regularly favor mood over moments of grandeur.
