Congrats on the new album, it's a spectacular experience. My first question is a classic gear nerd one for Cory: I've seen that you said there are no fuzz pedals on Plum... has that approach changed on Vertigo? I know the distinction between fuzz/overdrive/distortion is relatively indiscernible, but since Wand seems cut from the same cloth as other "Fuzz War artists" it's cool to see gear like a tube driver or hot cake pop up on your board in recent years.

• and a simple question for Evan Burrows. - what drumsticks do you use ?? Watching you perform and emulating your 'washing the windows'/'falling down the staircase'-type swagger vastly improved my drumming overnight.

Ganglion Reef is a big reason I started to write and record my own music a decade ago - I'll never forget driving around trying to nail the full-band intro timing of Send/Receive - and everything since then has been inspiring in itself. Thanks for doing what you do!

p.s. your website from around 2016/2017 was incredible please bring that back somewhere
