1. Clean Slate (for Alex & El Goodo)

10. Crawl After You

M Ward had the following to say in regards to his new release: ‘Between now and when I made Hold Time there has been a lot of travelling which requires a lot of reckoning with what to leave behind and what to carry – material and otherwise – and thinking about what I want versus what I need, creatively and otherwise. I wanted to get a reflection of that on the album. It was a process of stripping away my security blanket, which is the same four walls I always record in.”

You can pre-order the album now.
