Ward- End Of Amnesia (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 20th anniversary remastered reissue of M. Ward's sophomore album. M. Ward's second solo enterprise verifies the artist as one of those few songwriters who stand between the cracks of time, where he spins a hallucinatory, new universe out of old-world roots. Indeed, there's a real down-home, unpolished luster to End of Amnesia, both in execution and in songwriting, that gives it a timeless, old-fashioned pallor. And yet there's also something just slightly off in the songs, a strange, disembodied quality that seems to come at least partly from an ulterior place, be it real or imagined. That attribute is precisely what gives the music such a singular, distinctive sound and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e Shop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e 24\/7.\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43120367501533,"sku":"843563141403","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/lhlbrfgm9dqrnk8gfgcd.jpg?v=1731271430"},{"product_id":"m-ward-what-a-wonderful-industry","title":"M.

Ward's lyric delivery has that slight rawness the ear loves, and his voice has quiet dignity and great tenderness. Supernatural Thing is an open-hearted, inviting album.\r\n\r\nThe album's guest stars - First Aid Kit, Shovels \u0026amp; Rope, Scott McMicken, Neko Case, Jim James, others - enliven the album with surprises. On \"Too Young to Die,\" the women's voices in First Aid Kit spread a light frosting over the melody, and their Beach Boys-like chorus on \"Engine 5\" makes the song sound like an instant hit. Eight of the album's ten songs are Ward originals. There's an unusual Bowie choice, \"I Can't Give Everything Away\" from Blackstar, and a live rendition of Daniel Johnston's \"Story of an Artist.\"\r\n-By James Cushing\r\n\r\nBoth as a solo artist and as one-half of She \u0026amp; Him, M. Ward became one of the defining voices of the American indie landscape in the 2000s, earning fans and critical acclaim for his distinctive brand of breezy West Coast Americana which pulled from folk, country, blues, pop, and experimental indie rock elements. Ward established himself with warm, analog-minded releases like 2003's Transfiguration of Vincent and 2006's Post-War before joining forces with singer\/actress Zooey Deschanel to form the highly successful indie pop duo She \u0026amp; Him in 2008. Over the following decade, Ward split his time between projects, releasing a 2009 album with indie supergroup Monsters of Folk, several high-profile albums with Deschanel including She \u0026amp; Him's Columbia-issued 2014 set Classics, and critically acclaimed solo releases like 2009's Hold Time, 2012's A Wasteland Companion, and 2018's What a Wonderful Industry. Ward kicked off the next decade with a deeply atmospheric set called Migration Stories and a Billie Holiday covers album Think of Spring most recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elifeline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e too young to die (feat. first aid kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e supernatural thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e new kerrang (feat. scott mcmicken)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e dedication hour (feat. neko case and gabriel kahane)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e i can't give everything away (feat. jim james and kelly pratt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e engine 5 (feat. first aid kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e mr. dixon (feat. shovels ; rope)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e for good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e story of an artist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45004702515421,"sku":"045778796014","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4205818-2970566.jpg?v=1727256665"},{"product_id":"m-ward-think-of-spring-translucent-orange-vinyl","title":"M. Ward- Think Of Spring (Translucent Orange Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited orange colored vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. \"I first heard Lady In Satin in a mega-shopping mall somewhere in San Francisco. I was about 20 years old and didn't know much about Billie's records or her life or how her voice changed over the years. Anyway, the sound was coming from the other side of the mall and I remember mistaking her voice for a beautiful perfectly distorted electric guitar - some other-world thing floating there on this strange mournful ocean of strings and I was hooked for life. Ten years later in 2006 I recorded an electric guitar instrumental version of \"I'm A Fool To Want You\" for my album Post-War. In 2018 I performed a concert in LA. Of all the songs from Lady In Satin as a quintet and began preparing guitar arrangements for the recordings compiled on this record - Think of Spring. The title comes from a poem written in 1924 by Jane Brown-Thompson that eventually became \"I Get Along Without You Very Well\" in 1938 - the first song here. The conceit of Think of Spring is to filter the songs and strings from Lady In Satin through a single acoustic guitar using various alternate tunings and a minimal amount of textures and studio manipulation. #most of the songs were recorded on an analog Tascam four track. Think of Spring is inspired by Billie Holiday, Ray Ellis, J.J. Johnson, John Fahey and Robert Johnson.

Ward- More Rain (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 2016 album from the acclaimed singer\/songwriter. M. Ward has released a string of acclaimed solo albums over the past several years, along with five LPs with Zooey Deschanel as She \u0026amp; Him and a 2009 collaborative album with My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis under the moniker Monsters of Folk. In addition to his celebrated work as a musician, Ward is an accomplished producer, handling those duties for such luminaries as Mavis Staples, Jenny Lewis, and Carlos Forster as well as his own musical projects. This album, Ward's eighth solo affair, finds the artist picking up the tempo and volume a bit from his previous release, 2012's A Wasteland Companion. Where that record introspectively looked in from the outside, More Rain finds Ward on the inside, gazing out. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[More Rain]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pirate Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Time Won't Wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Confession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Listening (Child's Theme)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Girl from Conejo Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slow Driving Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're So Good to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Temptation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Phenomenon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Going Higher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005714358493,"sku":"673855053318","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3073134.jpg?v=1727238892"},{"product_id":"m-ward-transistor-radio-1","title":"M.

Ward- For Beginners: The Best of M. Ward (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Beginners: The Best of M. Ward is a collection for M. Ward fans of any vintage. Gathering together 14 tracks from across his Merge Records discography, including the newly recorded song \"Cry,\" For Beginners is both a primer and a mixtape of favorites sequenced in a way that gives them new life. \r\n\r\nBeginning with \"Chinese Translation\" and \"Poison Cup\" from 2006's Post-War, For Beginners drops in on Ward as he expands his prowess in the studio. His singular cover of David Bowie's \"Let's Dance,\" from 2003's Transfiguration of Vincent, breaks out into the exuberant \"Never Had Nobody Like You\" from 2009's Hold Time. Rather than the neat evolutionary line suggested by a chronological arrangement, what holds For Beginners together is Ward's impeccable skill as a songwriter, which remains in focus as his sound expands from low-fi home recordings to electric, radio-ready stompers. \r\n\r\nSerendipitously timed for release during Merge Records' 35-year anniversary, this celebration of one of the label's most beloved artists includes \"Cry\"-his first new recording on Merge since 2018-a stripped-down cover of the Godley \u0026amp; Creme pop classic featuring Melbourne, Australia's Folk Bitch Trio. \r\n\r\nM. Ward on \"Cry\":\r\n\r\n\"Cry\" was recorded in a Tasmanian modern art museum called MONA. I sat at the end of a long hallway a few feet away from Anselm Kiefer's sculpture of a 20-foot-high stack of lead books, and standing to my left and right around a single microphone were Melbourne's Folk Bitch Trio; we rehearsed and recorded \"Cry\" in about 30 minutes. A pleasure to add this song to a collection of some of my favorite memories of music-making during the first decade of record-creating with my friends at Merge. \r\n\r\nThe song is the perfect capstone for a collection of this nature, summing up much of Ward's power as a musician: the richness he's capable of achieving in sparse recordings, his knack for collaboration, and his ability to see through to the soul of a meticulously crafted pop song-as much a means of looking forward to what's to come of his own work as it is a callback to his past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChinese Translation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poison Cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let's Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Never Had Nobody Like You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lullaby + Exile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Duet for Guitars #3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Vincent O' Brien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e For Beginners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Magic Trick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Outta My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Undertaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Roller Coaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hold Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45550977810653,"sku":"673855085012","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4359305-3205845.jpg?v=1727169561"},{"product_id":"m-ward-duet-for-guitars-3","title":"M.

Ward- Think Of Spring (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I first heard Lady In Satin in a mega-shopping mall somewhere in San Francisco. I was about 20 years old and didn't know much about Billie's records or her life or how her voice changed over the years. Anyway, the sound was coming from the other side of the mall and I remember mistaking her voice for a beautiful perfectly distorted electric guitar - some other-world thing floating there on this strange mournful ocean of strings and I was hooked for life. Ten years later in 2006 I recorded an electric guitar instrumental version of \"I'm A Fool To Want You\" for my album Post-War. In 2018 I performed a concert in LA. Of all the songs from Lady In Satin as a quintet and began preparing guitar arrangements for the recordings compiled on this record - Think of Spring. The title comes from a poem written in 1924 by Jane Brown-Thompson that eventually became \"I Get Along Without You Very Well\" in 1938 - the first song here. The conceit of Think of Spring is to filter the songs and strings from Lady In Satin through a single acoustic guitar using various alternate tunings and a minimal amount of textures and studio manipulation. #most of the songs were recorded on an analog Tascam four track. Think of Spring is inspired by Billie Holiday, Ray Ellis, J.J. Johnson, John Fahey and Robert Johnson. Proceeds from this record will benefit the Billie Holiday Foundation and Black Lives Matter. \"- M.
