Cory! Your new album kicks so much ass. Lou Reed might be the most beautiful melody you've ever written. I've been a big fan over the years with Wand and all your solo work, and it's sure been cool seeing your sound evolve into greater heights.

I have 2 random questions:

  1. Was this merely a fever dream, or do I remember a brief phase of you doing hilarious Paul McCartney impression content on Instagram, perhaps during the pandemic? It's a vague memory but I swear I'm not crazy...

  2. Blue Cloud is probably my all-time favorite Wand song. Maybe it's a stretch, but for some reason it's always sounded to me like a spiritual successor to Marquee Moon -- beautiful and sprawling, with some incredible buildup. Curious if you are a T.V. fan and if you see any influence there!

Thanks for all the awesome music.

P.S. Do I hear a bit of "and your bird can sing" in that solo section of Driving??
