Since their formation, the band has released five albums in five years: Ganglion Reef (2014), Golem (2015), 1000 Days (2015), Plum (2017) and Laughing Matter (2019).

Following the live release Spiders in the Rain in 2022 and some solo work by frontman Cory Hanson, the band returned with 2024's Vertigo.

"[4] Regarding the band's name, Hanson noted: "We wanted a name that was kind of empty, like a wand is more of an idea, like a magical tool; it's a means, a vessel to execute a superhuman thing.

"[5] The band quickly recorded its second studio album, Golem, with producer and engineer Chris Woodhouse, best known for his work with the garage rock act, Thee Oh Sees.

[9] A music video for the track "Bee Karma" was also released on August 10, 2017,[10] directed by Hanson, utilising Super 8 film and starring his brother Casey.

[12][13] On February 27, 2018, a day after the band concluded their Plum tour, Cory Hanson announced on his Instagram that Wand would be releasing a thirty-minute EP entitled Perfume on May 25, 2018.
