WAND formed in Tokyo around 2013, with Koma on vocals and guitar, Daito Manabe on bass, Kensuke Harada on guitar, and Yutaro Takanami on drums. Their early albums like 'Wand' and 'Plum' had a dreamy, introspective quality that drew from psychedelic rock and indie pop.
In 2018 they released 'Pure Romance', an album that gave them their most recognizable song. The title track 'Pure Romance' became a fan favorite for its nostalgic lyrics and hazy atmosphere. The band went on hiatus in 2020 but returned the following year with another album called 'Shaman'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
