Album review: Cory Hanson – ‘Pale Horse Rider’: a psych-country triumph from Wand frontman

  • April 12, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
You might expect Pale Horse Rider to be a really good record; it's actually a great one. It's a record about LA written with all the perception and acuity of native. It takes the country-psych template and when it plays within it, it plays with grace and precision and blur; and when it shifts out beyond, it does with the dynamics of British exploratory rock. All points covered, no filler; perhaps its time to crown Cory the new Wolf King of LA. Buy.
