There’s a really interesting article on M. Ward in the New York Times from a couple of days ago that I’m finally getting a chance to read. Humble blogger suggests any of you music devotees definitely make this a must read.

The Portland-based musician, and mastermind of She and Him (with Zooey Deschanel), will release his sixth solo studio record, Hold Time, this Tuesday, Feb. 17. The Times article has nice samples for you to gobble up from the new album, so why not? Hold Time features help from Deschanel and Lucinda Williams; it features more of M. Ward’s brilliant indie pop with a bit of twang.
