Wand frontperson Cory Hanson corralled the identical lineup that recorded final yr’s Vertigo for his newest solo document, the American Songbook–infused I Love Individuals. Nostalgia whistles via ethereal country-folk numbers like “Hen on a Swing,” his vocals delivered in a lugubrious tone that settles like an umami observe beneath the verdant compositions. Ballad “Lou Reed,” in the meantime, remembers the nice songwriter with collapsing keys, mournful swoons, wistful strings and sax, and a touchingly easy refrain: “You had been a prince and a fighter/And also you had been a tai chi grasp.”

Spun collectively shortly, working each remotely and in-person, the duo settled right into a jazz-suffused sound that permits Sandman to alternate between introvert and extrovert modes, delivering pep talks for himself and the world. “No matter occurs is meant to occur,” he added in press supplies. “So loosen up. Learn. By no means hand over. Lead with love. Be your self and love your self.”
