It's A Kind Of Magic

Genre: Folk / Experimental / Psychedelic
From: Tennessee United States


Former Wooden Wand leader James Jackson Toth (first seen on the Devil's blog in June 2007 Jane Air & Wooden Wand ) has dropped the Wooden and announced the release of not one, but two releases under his new nom de music WAND. On March 31st, Toth will release the first album under his newish name WAND via Olympia’s People In A Position To Know Records . This is a limited edition release to set up the pending release of Hard Knox a collection of WAND demos and home recordings to be released on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label on May 26th.

As if that wasn’t enough, Toth has also just completed work in the studio (entertainingly blogged about here) with a brand new supergroup of sorts called The Jescos. The new band features Timothy Bracy, formerly of The Mendoza Line along with members of alt-country faves Glossary and We Were The States.

I'm tired just thinking about how hard Toth is working!
