Wand&#8217;s previous album, <em>Golem<\/em>, is sludgy, wizard-y, gloomy, fuzzy garage rock that immediately gets you hooked. They&#8217;re also best buds with Ty Segall, so it&#8217;s easy to see the influences between the two. <em>1000 Days<\/em>, however, takes more of a softer turn in the gigantic realm that is garage, fuzz rock. While songs like &#8220;Dungeon Dropper&#8221; and &#8220;Sleepy Dog&#8221; have heavy guitar riffs, there are much more electronic and folk-influenced sounds, like on &#8220;Stolen Footsteps&#8221; and &#8220;1000 Days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In general, there is a lot of experimentation that doesn&#8217;t get too egotistical or sound like they&#8217;re screwing around just to play with fancy synths. I think it&#8217;s respectable that Wand can dramatically change their sound while still sounding cohesive with the rest of their discography. It&#8217;s a toss up as to which Wand album, <em>Golem<\/em> or <em>1000 Days<\/em>, is going to end up in my top five albums of the year because they&#8217;re both so good in different ways. Basically, play everything on this album all the time, forever.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Ty Segall, Meatbodies, Fuzz, Ariel Pink&#8217;s Haunted Graffiti<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 4 (Dungeon Dropper), 8 (Sleepy Dog), 6 (1000 Days), 1 (Grave Robber)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Caroline Roe on 11\/02\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s respectable that Wand can dramatically change its sound while still sounding cohesive with the rest of its discography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1643,"featured_media":38072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[3704,2951,3703],"class_list":["post-38071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-1000-days","tag-caroline-roe","tag-wand"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/wand-1000-days-e1446539232907.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1643"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
