M. Ward- More Rain

Label: Merge

Released 2016

Begun four years ago and imagined initially as a DIY doo-wop album that would feature WARD experimenting with layering his own voice, it soon branched out in different directions, a move that he credits largely to his collaborators here who include R.E.M.’s PETER BUCK, NEKO CASE, K.D. LANG, The SECRET SISTERS, and Joey Spampinato of NRBQ. The result is a collection of upbeat, sonically ambitious yet canonically familiar songs that both propel WARD’s reach and satisfy longtime fans.
