WAND wiill be dropping its new album Laughing Matter next week but in the meantime, the band has released a video for the song “Rio Grande.”
The video, directed by vocalist Cory Hanson, takes the viewer on an emotional trip with analog shaky POV looking out the window of the car and then at a performance with the band.
The wistful track is on Wand’s new double album Laughing Matter, available on 2xLP/CS/CD from Drag City on April 19.
WAND performs at the Echoplex on April 19.
