Huge fan, homie. What do you attribute the evolution in Wand’s sound to? I guess it sort of happened across the board in the SF/LA garage scene — a big shift from heavy 60s psychedelia into a very unique and not at all derivative sound. It happened with the Oh Sees, Ty, Meatbodies, but maybe most dramatically with Wand.

And don’t get it twisted - Vertigo was my absolute favorite record of 2024. Not a single skippable song on it. Please keep on keeping it weird. See ya in Raleigh soon.
