M Ward reveals new album details

Oct 22, 2008

M Ward has revealed details of his forthcoming album.

'Hold Time' -- the follow-up to 2006's 'Post-War', is due out in the US on February 17, 2009.

The album features guest appearances from the Portland folk-rocker's She And Him collaborator Zooey Deschanel, as well as Lucinda Williams, Tom Hagerman of DeVotchka and Grandaddy alumnus Jason Lytle.

Meanwhile, M Ward is set to play a handful of California dates as part of the She & Him duo next month.

Although he's been compared to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to Howe Gelb, with "Hold Time", it's clear that M. Ward, with his brilliant guitar playing and innate sense of melody, is one of those rare and special talents who defy comparison and compartmentalization. His deft guitar picking, bar room piano, and voice like drizzled honey make him a huge favorite of music critics and the focus of public praise from such disparate talents as Norah Jones and Oasis' Noel Gallagher.
