This month, Wand launch their third album in what can only be called the relative blink of an eye: their Drag City debut, 1000 Days. In this year’s last year, Ganglion Reef, Wand’s debut album release on GOD?, reveled in their dark circuits and three-ring modulations; Golem, out March 2015 on In the Red, chem-trailed Wand’s sounds farther down the road and past the sky. With less than 365 days behind them, 1000 Days continues to reword definitions of “rock” and roll.” For Wand are purveyors of a subversive alliance that transcends genres; reeling you in with a blistering sonic assault of neoteric guitars only to gently ease into electrophonic chill-down complete with ingenious pop-folk sensibilities. All by punching a key or thrumming a chord — an illusion made of parts representing a sequence or set of steps meant to be swallowed as a single whole. Guide-beams of acidic synthesizers echo this intent; hi-fi sounds with lo-fi ethnicity. Cory Hanson is a skilled songwriter, arranging songs with swift dexterity and merging his esoteric tales of darkness and light almost subliminally from fantasy to intimate. 

The gardens of the galaxy are ripe for 1000 Days, so why not give the people what they want?  For the next week, in advance of the album release, three of American public radio's finest regional representatives -- KEXP, The Current and Oregon Public Broadcasting -- are streaming the album, beaming the signals into the sky and beyond! Click and hear, for eternal sounds of Wand will last only 8 days in digital space! By then the LP/CD/and CS will be here, and you know what to do!
