M. Ward Announces New Album Migration Stories , Shares New Song: Listen
Singer and songwriter M. Ward has announced his next studio album as a solo artist. Migration Stories arrives April 3, 2020 via Anti-. He’s also shared the lead single from the 11-track album. Give “Migration of Souls” a listen below, and scroll down for the full tracklist.
Ward recorded Migration Stories with Arcade Fire’s Tim Kingsbury, Richard Reed Parry, producer/mixer Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys etc.), and Teddy Impakt. Of the new album, Ward said in a press release:
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.
Ward has also announced a string of North American tour dates that kick off April 17 in Philadelphia and wrap up on May 22 in Los Angeles. Find Ward’s full schedule below.
