Priapic, in peak tumescence, Wand re-break this surface, their atmospheric river flown in deep and wide. A tune standing alone against the world, “Help Desk” necessarily summons grandeur with a variety of keyboard tones, their lines extending to the far horizon. Oceanic solemnity or just plain chill? Slow-unfurling banners of orchestral colors imply the former, but we FEEL the latter – sweet like the first beam through our diurnal marine layer or a sudden puff of smoke at the Vatican City, indomitably calm among all swirls and eddies. Cory coos nursery chimes and sweet surrender as Wand shudder, ripple and expand, majestically enlarged by the finish. Picking up the pieces of the picked-up pieces, this power ballad’s generated exclusively by soft, silken textures and implied silence.
