Sep 30, 2015This feels like a band overflowing with ideas in a productive way.

-
MagnetOct 14, 2015It's heady.... Wand delivers dynamic, lysergic rock 'n' roll. [No. 125, p.61]
-

Sep 29, 20151000 Days is a heartening record, a record that sees a young band picking up steam, playing with their influences more deftly than on their prior LPs, and bringing a thoughtful approach to old and well-traveled sounds.
