Vertigo is a 2024 studio album by American psychedelic rock band Wand, release by Drag City.
Reception
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".
