Sometimes news is short and sweet; this is one such instance. M. Ward, also known as Matt Ward, is ready to release a new solo record, titled Hold Time, and according to Paste, we should all get our greedy hands on it February 2009. That's about all we have confirmed, but it's great news nonetheless!
M. Ward is a man I envy a great deal, not just because he is a great musician (which he is), but because he has also worked with one of my all-time celebrity crushes Zooey Deschanel on their She & Him project (TMT Review). Actually, those two have confirmed a She & Him Volume 2. Oh, and that super-collaboration between M. Ward, Jim James, and Connor Oberst? Apparently it's coming along slowly and should see light in either 2010 or 2011.
This may all be pretty vague, but we know there is more coming at some point, so feel free to rejoice!
