Turns out the "Lonely Stoner" isn't so lonely after all as WZRD is rapper Kid Cudi's alternative rock band, formed in 2010 with producer Dot da Genius. If you can't believe it, know that Australian electro-rockers Empire of the Sun are the only special guests here, and that lead single "Teleport 2 Me" sounds like Sleigh Bells played at a slow speed, or the Cocteau Twins sippin' on sizzurp while they get their Cash Money on.
