'Hold Time' the new album from Portland singer-songwriter and T&G favourite M Ward is now streaming online here:

It is released on Feb 17 on Merge...and the 180 gram vinyl with download coupon sounds like the version to get. On first listen it is a quite superb LP, on a par with his very best. Once again, Ward takes us back in time with songs that variously recall the 40s and the 60s. Its beautifully recorded and sequenced, songs float in and out, sometimes atmospheric and slow and sometimes clap-along stompers. Its a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding listen, a masterclass in how to make diverse, warm music.
Full review in Feb.
