Craig Wedren, the lead singer of Shudder To Think, one of America s most influential post-punk bands, as well as a solo artist and in-demand composer of music for film and television, brings decades of creative exploration and a universe of diverse influences together on his spectacular new solo album Wand. Wand is Wedren"s magnum opus, with the fifteen Wedren compositions that comprise Wand exploring all of the aspects of his varying musical career. Wedren"s head spinning angelic voice is in its purest form as he performs on songs that range from the haunting Are We, and the party rockin" I Know," to the gorgeous Eno esque ambience of "In School" to the melodic rock and roll of "Make Me Hurt You." Wand is the rare modern rock album that rewards hearing in its entirety. Each song flows and follows naturally from the last. As Craig explains, "Wand is a concise and pared down collection of songs. No fat, no waste, no repetition of themes let"s take the most direct route to the best sounding record we can make."
