Klein continues a string of low-key, boundary-pushing compositions with Marked, an eerie suite that glides between ambient drone, dinner-party jazz, doom steel, and damaged hip-hop beats as if by way of a haunted home of the avant-garde. Its dissociative collage of searing noise and alienated vocal snippets feels directly like commentary and escapism, equally suited to headphones in mattress or a darkish room in an artwork museum.

Wand: Vertigo [Drag City]
Los Angeles rock band Wand are again—this time as a quartet—with their new album Vertigo. Evan Backer, Evan Burrows, Robbie Cody, and Cory Hanson minimize the file in their very own studio, the place they captured and collaged over 50 hours of classes, a lot of which have been improvised. Wand additionally produced and combined the LP, whereas Backer organized a string and wind part that includes viola, cello, violin, contrabass, flute, trumpet, french horn, trombone, tuba, saxophone, and extra. The band shared lead single “Smile” in Could, adopted by “JJ” in June. Vertigo is Wand’s first full-length since Laughing Matter in 2019.
