omg? yes, omg.
in what may be some of the best news i could ever possibly hope to hear:
Post-War, M. Ward’s fifth album, was created in an attic in Portland over the past two years, and this time around the guitarist/songwriter has collaborated with the likes of Neko Case and Adam Selzer as well as old “Monsters Of Folk” touring buddy Jim James (of My Morning Jacket.) Post-War also mark's Ward's first collaboration with the band he’s been touring with for the past 18 months or so. Used to crafting his records in a somewhat solitary fashion, it is, he says, his ‘first band record’. It was also the first time Matt had worked directly with producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Cursive, The Faint).
Ward also covers Daniel Johnston’s ‘To Go Home’ which has become a live favorite over the past few years of nonstop touring. Look for the release of Post War August 22 on Merge Records.
