WAND
Den L.A.-baserede garage-fuzz-kvartet Wand er et forholdsvist nyt band, men ikke desto mindre har de har haft god vind i sejlene. De har lavet splits med Mikal Cronin, inden de i 2014 udgav albummet 'Ganglion Reef' på Drag City, hvorefter de har turneret med Ty Segall. Det senste album 'Golem' kom til verden i marts 2015 via In the Red. Med det album har Wand udvidet deres psykedeliske garagerock med synths og en anelse heavy rock.
Om 'Golem' skriver pressen:
"Wand’s foundation lies in the old-school prog/psych sourcebook, but the songs often wander away from the script in a way that is refreshing. Glimpses of pop nostalgia are regularly smeared over with anachronistic synthesizer squiggles or blotted out with heavy rock riffs reminiscent of the Melvins. These are the record's best moments—when a Marc Bolan vocal seamlessly blends into the kind of tape-collage weirdness that might have been at home on a Butthole Surfers LP."
"Wand is quickly growing into a band that can take a musical trip and still land squarely on its feet. In this way, they’re not unlike the golem of Jewish folklore: a physically imposing being with a touch of magic at its core."
THE SLINKERS
Enkelt og skramlet gammeldags rock'n'roll med et skud af blues og 70'er punkrock.
