Hablando del nuevo de M. Ward

Qué dias estaba extrañando noticias del nuevo álbum de M. Ward, y precisamente esta semana me encontré con ellas (via 4AD):

Returning from She & Him duties, M. Ward has just announced his sixth solo studio album, Hold Time, is to be released in February 2009.

Hold Time consists of fourteen tracks of both eloquent and startling beauty and also includes guest performances by Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Lucinda Williams, Tom Hagerman (DeVotchka) and She & Him coconspirator Zooey Deschanel. More news to follow as we get it.

For the tracklisting see below..

01. For Beginners (AKA Mt. Zion)
02. Never Had Anybody Like You*
03. Jailbird
04. Hold Time
05. Rave On*
06. To Save Me**
07. One Hundred Million Years
08. Stars of Leo

* Featuring Zooey Deschanel
** Featuring Jason Lytle
*** Featuring Lucinda Williams

Bueno, al menos Zooey sólo va a colaborar con las voces de dos canciones. Más bien le tengo ganas a escuchar esas colaboraciones con el man de DeVotchka y una de las reinas del country contemporaneo, Lucinda Williams. Será que saldrá mejor que el excelente Post-War?
