Wand share "Bee Karma" from upcoming LP

August 10, 2017

Wand have shared a second single from their upcoming album, Plum. Corey Hanson and the rest of band are really stretching their wings on this record, and “Bee Karma” is muscular and psychedelic but also very melodic, almost in a mid-’90s Radiohead way (via Status Quo). You can check it out via the music video which was directed by Hanson and features a day in the life of a clown. It’s a little creepy, as most things with clowns are. Says Cory:

The video stars my brother Casey as the clown that I drive around. Abby Banks shot all the footage of him in the car, then I shot all the double exposure dancing parts on a high school assembly stage. It’s an age old story. In the end, the good clown wins and gets to be free. He dances.

You can watch the video below.

Plum is out September 22 via Drag City, and Wand will be on tour beginning the next day, and hit NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on October 6 with Yonatan Gat and Darto (tickets). Updated tour dates are listed below.
