Vertigo is a 2024 studio album by American psychedelic rock band Wand, released by Drag City.
Background
On May 7, 2024, Wand announced the release of their new studio album, along with the first single "Smile".
Reception
Vertigo was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 84 based on five reviews.
Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan called the music on Vertigo unlike the band's previous releases, being their "most expansive, subtle and varied record yet and a bit of a swerve from 2019's flashy knockout Laughing Matter". A review of lead single "Smile" called this album their most ambitious yet and "a noir-tinged record looming with tension, theatrical elevation, and lush orchestration". Editors at Stereogum chose this for Album of the Week, with critic Chris DeVille, writing that this release "leans into the ensemble element by building its songs out of the best parts of jam sessions", resulting in "a set of patient yet explosive guitar-powered epics that reaffirm Wand's stature as one of underground rock's hidden treasures".
