Wooden Wand

Wooden Wand, a.k.a. James Jackson Toth, was recently signed to Thurston Moore's label Ecstatic Peace and will serve up his debut release for the label on June 12th.  In order to transcend the ‘psychedelic’ labels that have been placed on him since his days fronting Wooden Wand & The Vanishing Voice James was very specific in wanting to make, "an un-weird record."  The resulting album, which will be Toth's last under the Wooden Wand moniker, is James & The Quiet.  Fans of Wooden Wand will find that this album is much darker experience than Toth’s previous album Second Attention.  That being said, the results are very good from what I've heard so far, un-weird or not.  Check out a track from the album below.
