Wands singles collection rare6/13/2023 ![]() It’s Hanson’s lyrics that bind the tracks together, detailing the inebriating effects of romance. Whether gritty or pretty, each song could pass for the work of a genre specialist. It’s rare to find transitions this agile on a single album, or even across the same career: Perfume resembles a retrospective compilation from an act that’s been around for 20 years-not five-and has spent significant chunks of that time workshopping different sounds. Again, multiple Wands show up, bearing songs varied enough to have come from several discrete seasons of writing. The band sounds filthy and pristine in equal measure, just as it did on Plum. On their EP Perfume, they return to their original bustling pace without losing any of their new-found ingenuity. But Hanson didn’t rest for a moment, following their Plum tour, before announcing that Wand’s next release was already in the bag. It seemed as though they’d benefitted from taking an extra year to design a more thoughtful work.
