When the Los Angeles group Wand formed in 2013, they played a wickedly spooky brand of psychedelic garage rock with metallic undertones. Over the course of three albums recorded in a couple years, the band's leader Cory Hanson wielded full control over their claustrophobic sound. The band's lineup changed along the way and Hanson loosened his grip on their sonic boundaries, allowing the new bandmembers more say in their newly classic rock- and modern pop-influenced approach. This change was reflected in albums like 2017's Plum and 2019's Laughing Matter, and their expansive and experimental live show was captured on 2022 double live album Spiders in the Rain.
