Klein continues a series of low-key, boundary-pushing compositions with Marked, an eerie suite that slips between atmospheric drone, dinner party jazz, doom metal and fractured hip-hop beats as if through an avant-garde haunted house. His disruptive collage of intense noise and alienating vocal snippets feels like both commentary and escapism, equally at home with headphones in bed or in a dark room at an art museum.

Stick: Vertigo [Drag City]
Los Angeles rock band Wand are back—this time as a quartet—with their new album Vertigo. Evan Backer, Evan Burrows, Robbie Cody and Cory Hanson cut the record in their own studio, where they captured and collaged over 50 hours of sessions, many of which were improvised. Wand produced and mixed the LP, while Backer arranged a string and brass section with viola, cello, violin, double bass, flute, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, saxophone and more. The group shared the single “Smile” in May, followed by “JJ” in June. Vertigo is Wand's first full body since then Laughing Matter in 2019.
