It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024 # 90 Wand - Vertigo

 



Wand, the Los Angeles, Alternative Noise sensation contunue to wave their magic and weave their spell. Vertigo their latest record does what they've being doing so well  for over a decade now.  In spades.

They're an odd band, as are so many from their contemporary West Coast family tree. See Ty Segall. See Oh Sees. I'm not quite sure what everyine is on exactly but Wand are always particularly welcome at my place whenever the return with fresh product.

Somewhere between Sabbath Sparks, Radiohead and theur own headspace. This is brimming with fanaticism. Inventive glee. The joy of being alive, In the words of another Angeleno, A man who may or may not have expired in a Parisian bathtub. 'Stoned. Immaculate.' 

.As so often they seem to have hoovered up the choice drugs and spew them out here with glorious abandon. A splendid Freak Flag Feast,
