The exploratory transition into solo song-scribe found on Cory Hanson’s “The Unborn Capitallist From Limbo” put newly formed strengths as a songwriter and lyricist on display with palpable acuity. After its release at the end of 2016 and the fantastic February tour of the Pacific Northwest that followed, it’s about time we approach The Unborn Capitalist From Limbo from a new angle, and through a lens: yes, Cory has a fresh music video ripe for consumption! “Garden of Delight” was shot earlier this year, blending cerebral melancholy and lush arrangements of song with the soothing western sun and earthly, botanical surroundings, guiding us on a trip through the looking glass.

Shot on 8mm and mini-DV, directed by Elise Tyler and edited by Wand’s Evan Burrows, “Garden of Delight” looks as timeless and wistful as it sounds.

Song from “The Unborn Capitalist from Limbo”, released on November 11th, 2016. Available on LP, Cassette, CD, and digital from Drag City Records.

Cory Hanson: The Unborn Capitalist From Limbo (DC663)

Cory Hanson’s solo debut is one of the things happening that allows us to think that the final generations of this burning and chaotic sphere will indeed offer some of the finest young things that history will ever  Cory is of course the singer from the band Wand, whose solo album you’ve doubtlessly been clamoring for all these  well at least since the last Wand album, when you lay ears on , it’ll all become clear. Cory‘s songs stand in stark contrast to the all-or-everything hive-mind of Wand, and the austere nature of the arrangement Cory on acoustic, with sparing rhythmic accompaniment and a careful use of string quartet – lends weight to the straightforward narratives wove into the songs. Tales of apartments being torn apart; walking in nature; escape from a sealed bag; people fornicating and drowning as mom floats in space

Terrible things are happening here – but dry-eyed Cory details savagery and seeming non-sequitur with compassion and perseverence, as the strings color the space around the songs him with inflections from phases of pop music, all of which evokes the mission style of his homeland, the sunny (yet-shadowy) south of California. The Unborn Capitalist From Limbo is a profound departure from the world of Wand, and, fully-formed, it takes its place in the firmament of orchestrally-lit pop albums, it’s earth-bound issues allowed to take flight as music.
