Cory Hanson is a Californian singer-songwriter and musician, best known as the frontman of the psych-folk band Wand. His work as a solo artist, while retaining the psychedelic essence, often delves into more acoustic and introspective territories, showcasing his talents as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Hanson's solo projects tend to carry a more personal and intimate undertone, differentiating from the collaborative dynamic present in his band efforts.

Following his prolific output with Wand, Hanson embarked on a solo career that has produced a series of acclaimed releases. His solo album "The Unborn Capitalist From Limbo," released in 2016, was a gentle departure into a realm of baroque pop and lyrical introspection. This was followed by the 2020 EP "She's a Beam," which further cemented Hanson's ability to create compelling, standalone works outside of his band's identity. His most recent full-length effort, "Pale Horse Rider," released in 2021, is an evocative blend of Americana-tinged melodies with tinges of psychedelic folk, displaying Hanson's growth as an artist. Singles like "Western Cum" and "I Can't Keep My Eyes Open" offer listeners a dreamy yet haunting soundscape, featuring his characteristic wavering voice and intricate guitar work that hint at the vast American landscape and its myriad of stories. Hanson's solo work is a testament to his versatility and mastery over his poignant musical narrative.
