Wand
Los Angeles-based psych-rockers Wand are releasing a new album, Laughing Matter, on April 19 via Drag City. Previously they shared a video for its first single, “Scarecrow,” which was our #1 Song of the Week. Now they have shared another song from the album, “Thin Air.” Listen to it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.
Laughing Matter is the follow-up to 2017’s Plum and is the band’s fifth full-length. The band consists of Sofia Arreguin (keys, vocals), Cory Hanson (guitar, vocals), Robert Cody (guitar), Lee Landey (bass), and Evan Burrows (drums).
A previous press release described the album as such: “Laughing Matter is a record about love in a time of terror; it calls you down from panic room labyrinths, to work the deep tissue of unraveling trauma we all carry so dear. The 15 songs on this record face their energy outward, to take with you through a common world that can’t suffer its human abusers much longer. Laughing Matter encourages you to shake hands with your old demons, to lay your pathologies to rest, to hold your spirit close, and let your body do what’s next.”
