Wand

LA-based psych-rock quartet Wand stay true to their ‘70s forebears while also keeping their sound fresh with plenty of modern touches. The band’s fuzzed-out riffs and hallucinatory lyrics recall psychedelic folk-rock legends like T. Rex, but their accelerated tempos and lo-fi sound put them squarely in the camp of modern psych innovators like Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees. In concert Wand conjures up a swirling fantasyland of wizards and golems, enveloping audiences in their weird-wonderful world with an onslaught of alien guitar tones and effects-drenched vocals.
