Welcome to the 23rd Songs of the Week of 2023. This week our writers and editors Andy Von Pip, Caleb Campbell, Celine Teo-Blockey, Mark Moody, and Scott Dransfield all weighed in which songs were best and we came up with the stacked list below. We settled on a Top 14 this week, with lots of honorable mentions.
Cory Hanson (WAND, Drag City Records) "A lysergic and unsettling take on cosmic Americana." -Pitchfork. "World-weary anthems for.a ruthless post-apocalyptic Wild West version of America." -Post-Trash. WAND frontman Cory Hanson’s third solo LP is a high-stepping, hard-dancing, first love/heartbreak, tonight’s-the-night, future nostalgia kind of good time. It follows 2021’s 'Pale Horse Rider,' upping the heat to molten levels, six strings at a time. Insatiably in search of greener pastures, Cory draws with vampiric glee from the madness coursing through the world outside. 8 pm (bar opens at 6 pm for Taco Tuesday, so get there early!). 21 & up. Opening band TBA.
