M. Ward (mwardtweeting) returns with 'Migration Stories' on April 3, 2020. Listen to the lead single, 'Migration of Souls,' here:
, an ode to the best and the worst of his long career in music. Ward is now back with a very different kind of project, calleda collection of “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,” and has released the first of these 11, “Migration of Souls,” today .
Lyrically, the new track takes us across “time and space,” but otherwise, it’s not breaking new ground: With softly strummed guitar and intermittent flourishes of horns, it’s the type of country-folk meditation one expects from Ward.
Some time went by, the stories wove together and I remember them now closer to characters in a dream of how people could treat each other than any kind of front-page news realism. I think music subconsciously—whether writing or listening—is a filter for me. Helping to process all the bad news into something new to build from. Some records to me are like self-fulfilling prophecies—visualizing change to wish something into being. Those records inspired this one.session.
