M. Ward 'Hold Time'

How do you follow up two records as perfect as 'Transistor Radio' and 'Post-War'?

M. Ward has the answer it would seem. The album 'Hold Time' is not out til mid-February but you can hear the title track AND see the video by going to http://mwardmusic.com/deluxe/ and clicking on the TV button.

What a beautiful track it is too. Orchestral and sounding like a song from at least fifty years ago, the slow, grainy video suits it perfectly. It takes a while for Mr Ward to sing, but when he does his familiar croon sits perfectly on top of the music and delivers a perfect love song in just a couple of verses.

Beautiful. This makes me very excited indeed about the LP.
