One of our favorite singer-songwriters, M. Ward, has just released his 10th studio album Migration Stories.
The She & Him member recorded the 11-track album in Quebec, Canada, collaborating with Arcade Fire members Tim Kingsbury and Richard Reed Parry, along with producer-mixer Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Florence and the Machine) and Teddy Impakt. They crafted the songs around stories of human migration, including those from friends and Ward’s own family history.
Ward described the album as “11 largely instrumental ballads — a sci-fi fast forward to a more silent night many generations from here to a maybe-era where movement is free again.”
